Automatically added redundant markdown when editing
After making an edit that only adds tags, some redundant markdown is added to the beginning of the body of the post. This does not show up in the rendered post but it gives an inaccurate edit history.
For an example, see the edit history of another Meta question.
Recently I have noticed this string of 4 characters added to various different posts by myself and others, and it now seems the editing of tags only may not be related. For example, see the final 4 characters of a recent edit that did not involve tags.
System info
- Operating system: Fedora 38
- Browser: Firefox 114.0
Examples
Please edit in any other examples you spot.
- Several occurrences in the history of the webmasters site proposal:
- Initial version (post creation rather than an edit). See final 4 characters before "Exclusions" section.
- Version 5.
