Source code of the page should be changed from

{{#if:{{{key|}}}|[[Category:Pages archived using a key]]}}<noinclude>{{pp-template|small=yes}}{{Documentation|User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo}}</noinclude>

to

{{#if:{{{key|}}}|[[Category:Pages archived using a key]]|<nowiki><!-- config: no whitespace --></nowiki>}}<noinclude>{{pp-template|small=yes}}{{Documentation|User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo}}</noinclude>

so the addition of vertical whitespace on rendered pages is avoided, as discussed on User talk:Σ/Archive/2014/April#Vertical whitespace?. I've tested the inclusion of an HTML comment instead of a line break, and it doesn't produce additional vertical space. Thank you. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 06:18, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Partly done:. I used a blank <span /> tag instead, as otherwise your comment would actually show up on talk pages - not quite what we want. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 13:53, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! However, this still isn't producing expected results, as the empty <span /> element seems to be filtered out by MediaWiki before a page is rendered into HTML. I'll test it further, and come back with an update. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 17:10, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Over at Template:Dated maintenance category, a <nowiki /> was used to avoid whitespace. You could try that in a sandbox somewhere. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:16, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the suggestion! Actually, using <span /> is just fine – it was another template which introduced vertical whitespace. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 06:00, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
