Match whitespace style of other list items when adding a new list item
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

Since bug 50771 we are now adding a space after wikitext list bullets of new list items. Ideally we should probably try to match the style of other list items in the list.

If we don't copy the original ID, then we'll have the opposite issue, right? New items will always be inserted with a space, which will look wrong if the existing list doesn't have spaces.

Yet, I think this behavior is better than current one, at least on Wikimedia wikis. Currently we have both inconsistency and never-add-space behavior. I would prefer inconsistency with always-add-space behavior… Of course, having a consistent behavior for the whole list is the best solution, so I trust you about required time depending on chosen solution.
