is Creating a paragraph a valid edition ?

[edit]

Translations:Help:Dummy edit/21/fr -> However, introducing two consecutive newlines creates a new paragraph, invalidating the edit.
Isn't it rather ? -> However, introducing two consecutive newlines creates a new paragraph, invalidating the dummy edit.

[edit]

Are there known tools to do null edits in bulk? Maybe nice to mention them here. I'm not aware of this.

For example, doing null-edits of pages in a category, or null-edits of pages with a specific link, etc.

This is useful to me in some corner cases, for some Italian templates (e.g. with the w:it:template:Bio, when a category is created, the Bio should add such category, but a null edit is necessary on pages - since the template Bio itself was not really touched).
