Description

Go to https://de.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Vorlage:Personendaten/Doku.
Edit the template data, and change the format string (currently "{{_\n| _=_\n}}") to "{{_\n|_=_\n}}", i.e. remove the space before the "Hole" for the name of the parameter.
Try to save.

Expected: The page saves without problems, as the format string follows the grammar in 3.7 of the Specification.
Actual: The edit is rejected with "Property "format" is expected to be "inline", "block", or a valid format string."

I just thought that I found the error in the string, but {{_\\n|_=_\\n}} (with the slashes double-escaped) is rejected as well.

I made an edit to set it to that value on Beta Cluster which worked as expected: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cite_book/doc&diff=354669&oldid=352856

Which browser was this in? Do you have something that might have adjusted the content falsely?

I have no idea what changed, but now it does work for me, too, both in OWE and in NWE. So either it was some strange temporary issue, or a bug in NWE that just got fixed by chance.
