Template:Block bug documentation

If the block-formatted content uses a named parameter (including 1) and begins with a list (or any other wikimarkup that is dependent upon a specific markup character being at the beginning of a line), because MediaWiki behavior is to strip whitespace from named parameters, a s and a new line must exist before the list (or whatever) starts. This no longer affects unnamed parameters. Compare: To embed a table in block markup like this, the block template's content parameter must be named or numbered and include the self-closing nowiki – as in  – then every   character in the table markup must be escaped with. An alternative is to use explicit HTML, , , and markup.
