Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- On a Wishlist page such as https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist/W402 follow the link "Support wish"
- Add a comment, ending it with a space character
What happens?:
The wish gets rejected: "Unable to parse wishlist vote. It may contain invalid wikitext. Please ensure there are no extraneous pipe characters in the wikitext."
Once the trailing space is removed, the support vote goes through.
