Description:

1. start new page creation
2. enter page content, e.g. "abc" (no line breaks here)
3. press "Preview" button
4. notice, that empty line was added to text

Since 2 empty lines in wikitext are converted to line break (<br>) that brokes down article formatting when we save 2 templates and use them in one page like this:

test1
{{Template:Sample1}}

test2

{{Template:Sample2}}

test1 and test2 sould be in 1 line, but thay are not.

Problem could be fixed in EditPage.php in 1215 line (in 1.11.0 version of MediaWiki) by moving "</textarea>" up by 1 line, so empty line would not be added at each page edit.
