Again for the millionth time, I still believe the formatting issues on a page should be removed. Not the rule, but should be modified. You already know the examples that I have used on my rough draft. If a page has this type of formatting:

 text text text

Anyone who has deletion rights should read the story first, because it's simple to read, then decide whether it's a keeper or not. If it's good, then remove the formatting. If it's bad, delete the page. If something goes wrong with copying and pasting it, like the text is like this:

text text text text text text text text text

Where it'll look like:

text text text text text text text text text

A few minutes of re-spacing the story wouldn't be a harm to the users who have deletion rights. Because you may never know on what quality content you are going to find. It can be the next Russian Sleep Experiment, or Ted the Caver. Then it gets deleted because it breaks the text. Because look at this:

 text text text

It's easy to read. I can actually understand that it's saying "text", just that the font is smaller than the regular wiki text.

Although, I do agree that formatting issues on the second example that I made should be deleted off the bat, because it's a clusterfuck of formatting, you don't know when the text is supposed to start or end, and it'll take a lot of the user's time removing it.
