Description:
Edited the [[Sir Arthur Clarke award]] page on Wikipedia to add in tabular results of 2011 awards. Noticed whitespace before the table I added. Removed a line of whitespace. Table vanished from display, but not from code. Restoring the empty line restored view of the table. Other later tables oddly don't have that problem.

It's all in the history of [[Sir Arthur Clarke award]].

Not sure what the right category is, but guessing a parser problem.

Worked fine for me when I removed it: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sir_Arthur_Clarke_Award&action=historysubmit&diff=438206781&oldid=438201366

I'm guessing there was a header directly above the table when this happened, and the table disappeared because of overflow: hidden; on the header. This has been reported before but I don't remember where.
