Just a guess, but try removing the line breaks: 

{{ #if:  {{{Hooking it up |}}} | <h2> Hooking it up  </h2> {{{Hooking it up}}}}}

Or use HTML comments if you still want breaks in the code for readability: 

{{ #if:  {{{Hooking it up |}}} |<!--
--><h2> Hooking it up </h2><!--
-->{{{Hooking it up}}}<!--
-->}}

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Ignoring Template Whitespace

I have a template I use for about 1/4 of all the pages on my wiki that is pretty \
complex. I have many sections that if are left blank, the entire section does not \
show up. But when those sections are left blank, the template leave whitespace (line \
breaks) filling the area that section would have been in.

Id like it if the sections were blank that it truly ignores that area. It probably \
has to do with the white space in the template, but without it, it's very unreadable \
(example below if needed)




From my template:
{{ #if:  {{{Hooking it up |}}} |
== Hooking it up  ==
{{{Hooking it up}}}
}}

{{ #if:  {{{Code Information|}}} |
== Code  ==
{{{Code Information}}}
}}

{{ #if:  {{{Availability |}}} |
==Availability==
{{{Availability}}}
}}

so if I have:
> Hooking it up  = this that
> Code Information = hello code
> Availability = Availability of this

Everything is fine. But if I have this (blank code section):
> Hooking it up  = this that
> Code Information = 
> Availability = Availability of this

I end up with the section for code being blank, but it still takes up space on the \
page as if I had a ton of line breakes.


thanks,
-Adam
