When editing an article, MediaWiki seems to add a line break at the end of the existing text. It seems like it gets stripped on save, but it can be annoying for our use. Is there a way to prevent from this line break from being added when editing an article?

You didn't provide your MediaWiki version, skin, or any information about your current setup, or an example, link or anywhere to see the issue you describe, so very difficult for anyone to answer your question. Is it possible the "extra" linebreak is there to help users to know where they can insert new text (a usability feature)?

Also, if the extra line breaks you describe are stripped automatically, why does it matter if there is one being added on your MW?
