Add non-breaking spaces in dates automatically
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Like bug 13619 I suggest to add non-breaking spaces automatically in dates. A regular expression like /(\d\.?) (join of month names and abbreviations in content langage with |)/ and /(month names) (\d)/ should catch almost all cases without too many false positives.

We don't want more automagic conversions into the wikitext.

We don't want more automagic conversions into the wikitext.

are you saying you think this is WONTFIX?

In the proposed way yes, but there may be alternative approaches if only dates of concern. Nevertheless I think computers are just not intelligent enough to do this automatically for us.
