https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mavericks_(location)&diff=559262706&oldid=559261658 There are a few issues here: * the diff presented to the user prior to save didn't include any of these extraneous changes (or I obviously wouldn't have saved the edit); * there's <nowiki> markup being inserted throughout the page, breaking a number of links; and * there's spacing normalization being done to template parameters, resulting in an even dirtier diff. I'm not sure how these issues should be split out or if there are existing bug reports for all three of these issues.
This bug is probably a wash in terms of being an actionable report, so I'll just use it to log other diffs I'm coming across via <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=visualeditor>. <nowiki> corruption: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black_Country_Communion&curid=25818560&diff=559205644&oldid=547680063 <nowiki/> weirdness: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lightning_(software)&diff=prev&oldid=559252596 Possible unintentional HTML comment removal; <nowiki> corruption: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Underworld_(band)&diff=prev&oldid=559255806

The user edited the text of the link, but didn't edit the target. Arguably, links where the text equals the target should have the target track the text when the user edits them. Or maybe they shouldn't. James?

CCing Gabriel. The nowiki issues also look like Parsoid serialization bugs to me.

The <nowiki> tags in Cite transclusions in ref tags is a Parsoid bug. I have that on my radar -- will look into that next possibly. As for <nowiki> tags in other places, looking at bug reports on parsoid.wmflabs.org, there are three different reasons * due to the bug in ref-tags I mentioned above * user entering wikitext in the visual editor (Ex: ==See also==* [[Tomato (company)]] in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Underworld_(band)&diff=prev&oldid=559255806 based on looking at the HTML sent to Parsoid). I've seen wikitext entered via VE in a few bug reports -- all such wikitext will be nowiki escaped by Parsoid * Empty heading left behind in the visual editor (tracked in Bug 49452)
MZMcBride: For future reference, only one single bug per report please. Also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug . I'd normally close such tickets as INVALID and ask the reporter to file separate tickets.
The <nowiki> tags in Cite transclusions (and other tpl transclusions, if they showed up) should be fixed. My suggestion is to close this bug now since the VE heading bug is tracked separately, and as for user entering wikitext, well, that could be a feature request for VE alerting the user when (s)he enters wikitext, or maybe a FAQ entry or something. In all cases, this bug wont be much useful beyond this point.
Marking as such.
