Discussion[edit]
WP:DEFAULTSORT doesn't advise against whitespace before the name. What error does this cause? Josh Parris 08:08, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
- It does not cause an error anymore (of what I can see) but standarizing is good and a space might "break" some mirror sites or tools that someone is using. Plus since this is a CHECKWIKI-error, someone will have to change thiese and I rather see a bot with bot-status doing it than a normal user. -(t) Josve05a (c) 20:17, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

- This is a very minor issue. We load lists once per 2 or 3 months and we usually do them manually. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
- I suggest you get CHECKWIKI-error #88 removed then. This is not an error, and does not need 'fixing'. Per WP:COSMETICBOT,
