 * Paragraph spacing is inconsistent (see River Song). Some have no lines in between, others 1 line, and the majority 2 lines. The source uniformly uses 1 line between paragraphs. This especially affects the Undated/unchronicled events section, resulting in a lot of negative space.

Thanks for your detailed responses. I've passed a lot of your thoughts along.

On the specific issue of the River Song undated events section, I don't think it's quite what you think. I've moved the entire contents of this page to a test wiki, and the spacing works the same way.

The space between paragraphs (that is the space after a  ) is greater in Article Prototype than Oasis. But there doesn't appear to be anything inconsistent in Prototype.

The issue really is that the section has an unusual number of single-sentence paragraphs in a row, thus naturally increasing the total amount of white space in that area. This sort of writing is not encouraged around here; we'd much prefer to see "proper" paragraphs, and there's no particular reason why this section couldn't be rewritten into just a few paragraphs.
