Does anyone here have any shadow of an idea why editing a single table messes up the formatting in a completely different table, while then messing up the formatting in the original table when I go to save it even though the rich text document for that table perfectly follows the proper formatting?

Because the visual editor is absolute garbage and loves to stuff things up, add redundant font formatting tags and insert a million linebreaks to the closing tags of wikitext. Obviously thats my opinion though. Anyway if you started editing/published it in the source editor then I have no idea at all what went wrong, maybe try .txt files. | Because the visual editor is absolute garbage and loves to stuff things up, add redundant font formatting tags and insert a million linebreaks to the closing tags of wikitext.

The source of your submitted version is definitely altered, the problem is it's inserting a double linebreak after every page divider (in some places 4 line breaks) | The source of your submitted version is definitely altered, the problem is it's inserting a double linebreak after every page divider (in some places 4 line breaks) | ||

If it's ''not just the visual editor being terrible'', then my only thought is whether you have some kind of autocorrect that's obsessed with adding linebreaks after every instance of <nowiki>"=="</nowiki> and backspaces <nowiki>"{"</nowiki> onto the previous line.

OK this is so frustrating that I can't bear to attempt to edit this page anymore.
Does anyone here have any shadow of an idea why editing a single table messes up the formatting in a completely different table, while then messing up the formatting in the original table when I go to save it even though the rich text document for that table perfectly follows the proper formatting?

If you started in the visual editor and then clicked the "view in source" button, it could be possible that it preserved whatever the visual editor does to break things in the version of the text it gave you.
The source of your submitted version is definitely altered, the problem is it's inserting a double linebreak after every page divider (in some places 4 line breaks) The table bit after them is breaking because it's been backspaced onto the same line as the images for some reason.
If it's not just the visual editor being terrible, then my only thought is whether you have some kind of autocorrect that's obsessed with adding linebreaks after every instance of "==" and backspaces "{" onto the previous line. LainIwakura (talk) 13:20, April 3, 2018 (UTC)
