Your edits to infobox templates in articles

edit

The space characters in the infobox template are there to make it easier for editors to edit them in source mode. Your deleting them was not helpful. Deleting unused fields in the template was another unhelpful thing to do.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:15, 13 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
