Steps to reproduce:
Actual result:
The HTML contains one paragraph.
Expected result:
The HTML contains two paragraph.
Additional information:
I did some tests over at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sebastian_Berlin_(WMSE)/T309778 with different ways of making two paragraphs. The way that I got to work was to explicitly add <p> tags.
FYI, another reliable way to achieve this is to put the <blockquote> and </blockquote> tags on their own lines: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Sebastian_Berlin_(WMSE)/T309778&diff=5248625&oldid=5248456
The paragraph wrapping is unintuitive, but it probably can't be changed to avoid breaking existing content that accidentally relies on it.
Thanks for the work around. I added a note on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting#HTML_tags.
This is ancient behavior. T8200: Linebreaks are mishandled in <blockquote> and <li> and linked tasks look pertinent.
Maybe a lint error could be added for this case? First, it’s more likely to be unintended than intended, so it’s useful for users to know; second, if there’s a lint error, the violation count can be used to make an informed decision about changing the behavior.
