The same url is used / handeled at
Bug 4590: (&oldid=nnnn)&action=render generates wrong / invalid url

This is normal behavior of all browsers since HTML 3 introduced tables.

Thanks Brion for mentioning the specification.

If it does not make sense to generate <td></td> it should be a feature / an
enhancement of MediaWiki *not* to generate such code.

The problem is that contributors using Firefox would not see the error. We can
not expect that contributors double check their edits with other browsers.

REOPENing bug and changing "Severity" to enhancement.

changing summary from

Do not generate <td></td>

changing the url to

*notes*

1. the new url (which does *not* include &action=render) renders properly in FF

nigthly trink but does not render properly with IE

2. the old url (which *includes* &action=render)

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikivar&oldid=1187033&action=render
renders the same both in FF and IE

Will investigate at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ about this issue.

Why did you reopen this? As I already explained, this is the *NORMAL* rendering
of empty table cells on most browsers traditionally. action=render doesn't
include custom style sheets, so that normal default rendering is used.

There's no bug here. Resolving INVALID.
