Extra space after the namespace-title separator
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:
On English Wikipedia, the : between Template talk and Infobox musical artist has no trailing space.

On Persian Wikipedia, it does.

What should have happened instead?:
Layout should be consistent for both wikis

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
The space is added by CSS in /modules/init.styles/dt.init.pageframe.less of DiscussionTools but it is unclear why it is not applied the same in different wikis.

Moreover, the space is not really helpful to the Persian readers and should not be applied in the first place.

it is unclear why it is not applied the same in different wikis.

The difference is because English Wikipedia is the only wiki where the respective feature (usability improvements) is still in beta. If you enable the DiscussionTools beta feature, the space will appear on enwiki as well. On other wikis (or after you enabled the beta feature on enwiki), the usability improvements can be turned on or off in the editing preferences (“Show discussion activity”, “نمایش فعالیت در گفتگو” in Persian).
