Description WhatamIdoing 2013-12-10 18:59:29 UTC
Reproducible: Didn't try
Comment 1 WhatamIdoing 2013-12-12 20:59:05 UTC
This also affects vertical bars ( | ) as seen at ttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paper_Planes&diff=585505452&oldid=581736416
Comment 3 WhatamIdoing 2014-02-13 23:16:35 UTC
Another diff, this time involving a {{nowrap}} template:  https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Jackson&curid=14995351&diff=595247974&oldid=595208734

This only seems to affect nbsp's that are present in ref names (where they probably oughtn't be anyway).
Comment 4 WhatamIdoing 2014-02-15 19:07:20 UTC
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colours_in_the_Dark_%28album%29&curid=39317223&diff=595492480&oldid=593715294 it appears that this happens on HTML codes for things other than non-breaking spaces.  #124 is a vertical bar.
Comment 5 NicoV 2014-03-04 16:06:39 UTC
Other example on frwiki https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salon_international_de_l%27agriculture&curid=205829&diff=101773303&oldid=101729054

Apparently, the user didn't even modify the chapter where the problem occurs.
Comment 6 WhatamIdoing 2014-03-26 17:55:32 UTC
Here's another:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_National_%28band%29&curid=2308112&diff=600606533&oldid=600023816

This time, the ref name contained a template:  <ref name="{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=the national|chart=Billboard 200}}">

Like most of the others, this is probably the result of a sloppy script.
Comment 7 WhatamIdoing 2014-03-31 16:22:31 UTC
Here's another:  

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fandango_%28wrestler%29&curid=21330399&diff=602066359&oldid=601951852

This one broke over "&quot;"
Comment 8 James Forrester 2014-04-17 19:02:14 UTC
I can't reproduce this in Chrome, Safari, Opera or Firefox. Is it possible that this is a browser plug-in or a very odd browser corruption?
Comment 10 James Forrester 2014-04-17 22:16:56 UTC
Thanks!
