It contains only empty string(s) or breaking space(s) etc. But if Parameter 1 contains an Ideographic space 3000 rather an ASCII space 20 then it is treated as non-null. This affects users editing a Latin based Wikipedia (i.e.. English) with a Asian based computer (i.e.. Japanese). For example see this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kawagoe_Station&diff=306196218&oldid=305944473 which changes the spaces from U 3000 to U 20 and the "statistics" line in the Station infoboxes are then correctly formatted. The U 3000 space should be evaluated as whitespace within a template if function. -------------------------- **Version**: 1.16.x **Severity**: minor
