iOS 18



Thanks for one of your edits ↗ to the article iOS 18 ↗ for removing nonsense of random characters! I didn't notice that when I was editing the article for grammar and typographical fixes.

I later on found out the edit which introduced that nonsense: this edit ↗. The temporary account ~2026-33559-51 ↗ added some test edits or vandalism but didn't fully revert their own a few hours later, making it very hard to find. I wasn't watching this article back then, but you did get to look very closely after a long wait and revert that nonsense they've made! Slackintosh (talk) 07:42, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Extra whitespace



Hi Guy. Do you have a reason for removing extra vertical whitespace ↗? It does not affect layout of the rendered page. I often insert these when doing other work so that when editing the wikisource, I can quickly find the beginning of the lead text. ~Kvng (talk) 00:02, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:{{ping|Kvng}} {{tq|It does not affect layout of the rendered page.}} If "layout" includes, for example, inter-paragraph spacing, extra vertical whitespace - blank lines between paragraphs - ''does'' affect the layout of the rendered page. Compare:

This is the first paragraph.

This is the second paragraph.

:which has one blank line between paragraphs in the source, with

This is the first paragraph.


This is the second paragraph.

:which has two blank lines between paragraphs in the source.
:There ''are'' places where blank lines are ignored, but that's not one of them.
:However, the edit in question ↗ removed ''horizontal'' whitespace. The previous edit ↗ appears to have added a single space to a blank line without a comment, which - given the lack of a comment - made it appear to be a gratuitous change. Guy Harris (talk) 19:10, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::Before we discuss this further, we need to agree on whether these changes affect layout. Please compare before ↗ and after ↗ your whitespace removal. ~Kvng (talk) 14:01, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Kvng}} {{tq|Please compare before and after your whitespace removal.}} I just popped up two windows with those two versions and looked at them and saw... no difference in the layout with Safari on macOS Tahoe.
:::What are ''you'' seeing, and with what browser on what platform? Guy Harris (talk) 21:52, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
::::OK, we agree. There is no rendered difference. I'm aware that this is not always the case with vertical whitespace. I don't want to get into a silly edit war over it so I thought I'd ask you about it. In this case it sounds like you were reverting an anonymous editors insertion of this whitespace. I think that generally we should not be making edits for the purpose of adjusting wikitext whitespace. But I wanted you to know that I prefer some whitespace here because it makes the frontmatter wikitext a easier to read and I will sometimes add it when making other edits. ~Kvng (talk) 22:36, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
