Leading question marks in lists are replaced by  ? because the french like it that way. The solution fopr this is very bad. Instead of adding a hardcoded leading blank the <li> tag should get an own class. This way the french can style it how they want and the rest of the world is happy too.
**in ordered lists that is... http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Subfader/List
I suspect the proper behavior here is just to actually strip the whitespace between the list markup and the following text.
On IRC the devs told me the nbsp is instered because french wikipedia wants it this way. But the rest of the world is unable to remove it.
This should be fixed. fr WP should install an extension for that. Another bad example added: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Subfader/List
bump
could anyone at least tell me where the parser adds the extra blank so I can fix it manually??
So where is it created? Someone a hint please?
* ? returns wrong output: <li> ? </li> This would be correct: <li>? </li> This blank was only added for French Wikipedia. They should use an extension instead of forcing MediaWiki to produce wrong output. Nobody cares? I don't see how you can axcept wrong output in the software which only is correct in French (if at all...).
Where do the French need this for ? Perhaps it's no longer used.
I don't know. Some dev told me so on IRC some years ago when I started this bug report.
