The AbuseLog suggests some others:

Empty style tags

 * Examples: here or here.

Whitespace at the start of a paragraph
These nowikis are to prevent roundtripping as preformatted text.


 * This seems to be fixed in production in Wikimedia sites as of June 26 2015. I cannot reproduce it any more. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 07:30, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Not true. See this diff from frwiki from 30th June for example. So, VE's fixes aren't foolproof yet. We'll start handling these on our end, and it won't hurt in any case. SSastry (WMF) (talk) 04:47, 1 July 2015 (UTC)


 * SSastry, any update about this? I still see this happening up to five times a day in he.wikipedia (I follow nowikis maniacally in my home wiki ;) ). --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 08:32, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105239 was deployed on the 14th, but there may be a few things to fix yet. I had discussed about this with User:Arlolra because of this diff. He told me that he'd work on that. (I managed to reproduce that even worse here). --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 11:53, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Empty links

 * It's not clear what to do automatically in such a case, but I noticed that often the output is Italie, and then it's pretty obvious that the output should be Italie . --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 16:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

An empty nowiki tag without anything at the end of the line
For example in the Hebrew Wikipedia here.

A link that ends in space
Such as: Berlin is the capital of Germany.

This should be Berlin is the capital of Germany.

(It's barely imaginable that somebody actually prefers the former over the latter.)
