New "renderedwith-legacy" string shows additional "-" (dash) at bottoms of all pages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Starting from today, an unusual dash ("-") is appearing on all wiki pages (except the enwikipedia main page) for all skins on all wikis, just above the license text at the bottom of each page. It is in the same place as the “This page was last edited…” text. I’m sorry, but I don’t have the technical knowledge to explain this in more detail. It appears to be unintentional.
