re: summary tags
I've tested summary tags on the One Piece wiki and additional line breaks were not created. I then tested summary tags on the Yu-Gi-Oh wiki and additional line breaks were created. This leads me to believe it has something to do with smw. Maybe Wikia is using a different version of UCP for wikis with smw and this is an oversight of that? In any case, I wouldn't know who to contact about it. One of the Wikia Helpers? Special:Contact? Or try your luck with Discussions on Community Central?

I would argue that, in the case of the chapter/episode summaries, the giant single paragraphs are difficult to read anyway, for which reason I view these forced line breaks as helpful. It's articles that transclude only portions of paragraphs that are already short, such as Konoha and Sharingan, where the forced line break is less welcome. Those articles will need their summary tags adjusted if no fix is forthcoming. ~SnapperTo 07:09, 24 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Just an FYI to both of you, you can report such issues to me or to Special:Contact (Zendesk) in the future — either works. I believe Zendesk was used this time, since another Staff member came in & implemented a fix. All good now? -Ursuul (talk) 13:40, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

What appears to be happening is that when SMW is enabled, mw-parser-output now wraps  content in separate   tags, which causes the break. The pattern looks fairly predictable but doesn't have specific classes, which makes me think this was not intended. As a short term solution, I've drawn up this CSS which should fix the problem by forcing the separate paragraph tags to act like one passage:

I've made this CSS as specific as possible to avoid it affecting other parts of the site. Feel free to install it & let me know if it doesn't cover everything/affects something it shouldn't. While that's in place, I'll file a bug report regarding the paragraph tags to see if this cannot be resolved (hence only the main namespace being affected by this CSS, so I can show off an example of the bug in userspace for investigation). -Ursuul (talk) 

infobox transition
Just to give you an update on how things are progressing: I seem to have found a way to restore media tags to smw queries in infoboxes. I've implemented it for Clans, Genetic, and Teams and have left an edit request for Characters. I don't think there are any other infobox types where this problem persists, but if you know of one please let me know. Clans, Genetic, and Teams are currently set up to exclude game jutsu. I can't remember if that was done before, and I'm also unsure if there are any articles where game jutsu might want to be included. Again, if you remember any, you can let me know.

The downside of this fix is that I haven't found out how to italicize unnamed results. This edit was the only one of the several things I tried that gave some indication of unnamed status, but I'm unsure of how to translate that indication to text formatting. Given the choice between media tags and unnamed status, I figured the wiki would care more about media tags. I can try more solution for unnamed another time. ~SnapperTo 02:22, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
