After the second edit, the copied and pasted text is wrongly spaced. Following "More anniversaries", it should be like this:

I suggest:

{{flatlist}} may also be useful as it's used by {{SelAnnivFooter}}. 173.206.40.108 (talk) 07:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The spacing looks fine for me — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:54, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The visual rendering is identical in both cases, but the copied text is different. That may cause a problem for screen readers. 173.206.40.108 (talk) 09:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a simple experiment you can try: Double click on "editors" on the main page. It shouldn't select the "6" but it currently does. 173.206.40.108 (talk) 02:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. I will copy this discussion to Talk:Main Page to see if there are other comments — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:39, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sohom Datta: Sorry, I meant on Firefox. I neglected to test Chrome, which not only selects the "6" but the ",951,012", and this current behavior on Chrome is correct and consistent with clicking to the left of "Archive · More featured lists". So a zero-width space should not be used. My edit request works on Firefox, so it's not the "MediaWiki parsing void", which I worked around using " " at {{burma-shave}}.

@Graham87: {{SelAnnivFooter}} uses newlines to solve this problem, which you can chose to use instead of my solution. The double click and screen readers were just what I thought were better examples. My real use case is that I like to Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V from Wikipedia into Google Translate. Using Firefox, I get "126,690 active editors6,951,041 articles in English" but I want the copied text to be spaced properly like the "Archive By email List of days of the year About" below. 173.206.40.108 (talk) 16:50, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there MSGJ, I went ahead and created that quotas sub-page we discussed at Vital Articles. If you wouldn't mind converting the content model, that should be the only thing I can't take care of myself. The only other thing is we may want to put an ECP on the page; I expect it should only be updated manually after discussions at VA.

I started it at Wikipedia:Vital articles/controls/quotas.json for now. I know we never decided 100% on the location, but from the few times I've skimmed Cewbot's code, I'm pretty sure it grabs every .json page from the data directory at points. Also, since quotas are upstream of actual VA content, I felt calling it something other than data made more sense. Obviously, if it's an issue or anyone wants to move it, I would be fine with that.

Thanks again for your time, and enjoy the rest of your February. -- Zar2gar1 (talk) 18:31, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
