Template talk:GlobalProblems

Excessive Whitespace
I have absolutely no idea why, but the combination of this random check and removing the now-unnecessary manually typed platform name actually fixed the trailing whitespace after descriptions issue caused by this template. When I went to remove the edit since it was meant to be temporary, I saw the whitespace come back on Phelios (Genesis) after purging it, then I put it back and purged again and the whitespace disappeared. It makes no sense to me, maybe the category is causing the whitespace culling to work differently? I considered just leaving it in there for the sake of removing the whitespace, but there's no reason that it should work like that, and the check would start spewing a pointless category around if we tried to take advantage of it. - Xerxes (talk) 10:34, 15 September 2017 (CEST)

Well, putting Category:Pages using GlobalProblems in place of that check and then hiding the category fixed the whitespace (it actually makes the TOC a little too close to the description, ironically). I'm okay with this workaround, but I don't understand it. - Xerxes (talk) 02:37, 16 September 2017 (CEST)
