Please let the user capable to insert a new line within the text.
Now the software deletes the new line characters (in my case I use the "Enter" key which is shown in editor-view, but disappears from the text).
With new lines you can arrange your own text to be more readable. (like in this text)

We appreciate your reporting this @Misibacsi. Two questions for you:
We remove the blank lines, because they would have no effect anyway – in a wikitext syntax like this, there would be no extra gap between the 2nd and 3rd line:
:test row 1 :test row 2 : :test row 3
Example: https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:T265564
Because of this, we assumed that most editors would think that it just clutters up the page.
