Description Oliver Keyes 2013-07-02 14:35:47 UTC
The template inspector's parameters contain the contents of each parameter, and also a line break, which represents, well, the break between two parameters. When modifying a param, it's all too easy to remove the line break, which results in user-unfriendly things like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kidz_Bop_20&diff=prev&oldid=562494239

(inspector->dialog; inspector is the context menu with buttons to open a dialog)

The bug is open for more than a year, and we get ugly diffs and ugly wikitext. Please increase its severity.

If it isn't possible or it is hard to know whether a template is "inline template" or "multiline template", at least allow manual indication for it (using TemplateData?)
