Examples would be good, i.e. pages which have a colon on the same line, then what the writer's intent appears to have been.
Just resurrecting this thread: I think my change is a good one, and if there are any actual arguments against it, I'd like to hear them. What David is asking is a bit much: for me to find examples where a user has entered wikitext which renders as basically nothing, and chosen to leave it like that. More likely, the user would realise that the sequence ;foo: renders in an unhelpful way, and would use a <nowiki>. Perhaps the onus should be on someone else to find these mythical examples to show how they would render incorrectly with the change.
