...not because you did anything wrong, but because when you added it via the visual editor it did a bunch of stupid stuff that made unwanted changes to parts of the page unrelated to your new example. It also decided to have some useless fun with the markup for your example:

*The protagonist in [[Goodbye, Mr. Chips|''Goodbye,'' ''Mr. Chips'']] gives some creative lines to Colley when the latter tests his authority.

Ideally this should have been coded like so:

* The protagonist in ''[[Goodbye, Mr. Chips]]'' gives some creative lines to Colley when the latter tests his authority.

I suggest re-adding the new example with the Source Editor ("Edit source" at the top of the page) instead, so the Visual Editor won't have its merry way with it, nor will it rampage through the rest of the page removing desired whitespace.

Thanks!

The visual editor is so notorious for doing this kind of thing that we actually investigated turning it off altogether at one point. (We couldn't.)

All we can do is recommend using the source editor as a matter of course.

That would explain why you've both had to restore whitespace on my edits in the last fortnight, I did wonder. I'll switch to the source editor from now on. Thanks.

And your second try got an approval right away.
