After migrating to remex something changed in lists, see https://fi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anja_P%C3%A4rson&diff=prev&oldid=15409643#L%C3%A4hteet how it looked when there was an unneeded asterisk.

And see the Commons template here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160828001900/https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anja_P%C3%A4rson. It looks fine there, but in the current version there is extra asterisk https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anja_P%C3%A4rson which comes from https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malline:Commons-rivi. The problem was noticed at https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kahvihuone_(tekniikka)#Commonscat-rivi

Possibly an issue with the "remove empty elements" feature of remex/tidy?

In looking at https://fi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anja_P%C3%A4rson&oldid=15409643&action=parsermigration-edit, I see an extra asterisk in both cases (Tidy & Remex), except, they are aligned differently. In any case, it looks like you've fixed the problem in Template:Commons-rivi

Are you asking why Linter didn't report this difference? Assuming that is your question, Linter does not look for all possible differences between Tidy and Remex. We are only tracking the most common cases that have been discovered through automated testing, manual inspection, and reports through early deployments such as yours. We are open to introducing new categories in case you discover something that is broken on fiwiki that is found on a lot of pages.

Thanks for the report!

We have now 5 395 articles with an extra asterisk (only including those using the Commons-rivi template), there were none(?) before the migration. So I think that's a lot of pages.

@Stryn Thanks for pointing that out. Is there is something you want us to do here? Or, are you reporting this as one more Tidy vs. Remex issue as an FYI?
