Over the past few months, I've been trying to eliminate white space found at the top of article pages that is caused by people inadvertently adding line breaks which make an article easier for editors to read. But this has a deleterious impact upon our general readers.
For instance, one will commonly find:
{{infobox whatever
}}
{{semi-protect}}
{{another template}}
'''Subject''' was . . .
Well, for every time you hit "enter", you get a line break, meaning that by the end of all that you've put in three line spaces at the top of the article. All this white space can be eliminated by typing:
{{infobox whatever
}}{{semi-protect}}{{another template}}'''Subject was . . .
Can we add an example of this superior coding practice to the various Tardis:Layout guides, so as to establish that we do not want this extra space at the top of articles? CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 00:00, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
