Wikipedia:Database reports/Short descriptions containing invalid space characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Short descriptions containing Unicode space characters other than the usual U+0020. To help editors locate these non-standard space characters, non-breaking spaces and thin spaces are shown in this report as their character entities,   and  ; all other spaces (including other width variants of the non-breaking space) are shown as a fake character entity, &othersp;.

To fix these errors, convert non-standard space characters to regular space characters. See the Manual of Style section on invisible characters for more guidance.
