Request for new genfix for weird linebreaks in wikilinks
I was informed about my bot making a bad edit; upon looking it appears that it was because there was a linebreak in the middle of the wikilink. Is there (or can there be) a genfix created to mitigate this issue? All that would be needed is anything linebreak-related to be removed out of any wikilinks.

Moving coord templates out of comments
In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gary_Sinyor&diff=prev&oldid=1286914727 this edit], the bot move the unused {{tlc|coord}} templates from the infobox (where they were invisible comments) to the bottom of the page. Reported to me by {{ping|Deor}} on User talk:JCW-CleanerBot#Strange edit. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:09, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
