Description

See diffs like https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Laurence_Jenkell&curid=5925674&diff=109882275&oldid=108191025 or https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludmila_Pagliero&diff=109911855&oldid=109910719 .

Span tags are introduced, most of them look like some text here, but in the second one   was added right before the existing ([[Rudolf Noureev]]) (which had been introduced with this diff).
Notice how removal of categories also happens (I reported this separately a few days ago).

Jdforrester-WMF added a project: Parsoid.Dec 15 2014, 11:26 PM

This looks like VE sending Parsoid HTML with the span tags which Parsoid promptly left behind as spans as there is no wikitext equivalents for that. I don't think Parsoid should start stripping span tags. Unless the spans are part of template content and Parsoid left them behind as spans .. but looking at the diffs, that doesn't seem to be the case. Are they left behind from a copy-paste operation?

Yeah, it's probably a VE-land corruption.

Another example, and again looks like the 2 issues are related: https://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aquavit_(restaurang)&diff=prev&oldid=29177658
