Lack of spaces around message

Current behaviour:

:message.--signature

I expect it to generate more readable:

: message. --signature

Information tokens should be visually separated.

I agree ("Sparse is better than dense." --Zen of Python) though this behavior maybe comes from Parsoid, that seems to favor dense rather than sparse wikitext. :-(

Which wiki are you editing at? This is configurable per wiki, because different languages have different conventions.

So if it's set per wiki, than I suppose I have to ask local community if that's a preferable convention and fill a ticket in Phabricator?

I see, thanks. Is there a possibility to also add space between indentation marks and message?

Do you want the wikitext to look like ::: Message. --Signature instead of :::Message. --Signature ? If so, that is not possible.
