| F4074: PATCH.transclude_special | |

Author: sergiogomez
Description:
When you include a includable Special Page (e.g. {{Special:Example}}), parser adds a blank paragraph with a <br /> at the begining.
This is made in includes/Parser.php line 2170:
$output .= $paragraphStack.'<br />';
I think that it's a bug.
Thank you! ;)
Version: 1.10.x
Severity: minor
I can confirm that, try something like:
abc{{Special:Editcount/Catrope}}def
(Catrope being my username), which yields:
abc
2,717def

The paragraph is due to the parser, the line break is (of course) coming from the special page inclusion code. Special page output is a block, and it could be considered appropriate to ensure there's a line break after it.
In the case of an edit count, one should use a parser function to obtain the information.

I can understand that output is a block. But it adds a blank line when it contains several blocks.

The work-around for this used to be: abc{{padleft:{{Special:Editcount/Catrope}}}}def
Not sure if that still works or is still needed.

This still exists and is particularly annoying with Special:Editcount, the above method using {{padleft:}} doesn't seem to help.
conrad suggested that removing one of the two \n in Parser.php:3082 would solve the problem, however he was unsure if there are any side-effects.
