1. Oppose I don't think this actually makes wikitext easier to read. In addition, some (most?) people may be using non-monospaced fonts in their browser. DTLHS (talk) 01:13, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

   @DTLHS: They might, even in text boxes? — Eru·tuon 19:24, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

2. Oppose I don't think it really makes it easier to read. --WikiTiki89 15:43, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
3. Oppose sorry, but god no. -Xbony2 (talk) 16:00, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
4. Oppose per above. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 04:29, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
5. Oppose. Changed my vote per DTLHS's argument "some (most?) people may be using non-monospaced fonts in their browser". --Daniel Carrero (talk) 05:06, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

   I bet most people use monospaced fonts in their text boxes because that's the default format, but unfortunately that tabulation would probably look pretty terrible for people who don't use monospaced fonts there. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 09:19, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

6. Oppose. Utterly trivial, not worth enforcing one way or the other. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 16:06, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
7. Oppose per Angr. — Vorziblix (talk · contribs) 18:54, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
8. Oppose As a programmer I don't believe in enforcing tabulation. House style is okay but don't make it a rule. Equinox ◑ 22:14, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
9. Oppose per all above. Shouldn't have been brought to a vote. DCDuring (talk) 11:45, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

   For clarity on the issue, I don't see why we shouldn't have voted on this. I had suggested it, and Daniel Carrero kindly set it up as I've not created a vote before. It goes without saying that I will abide by any consensus reached. — SGconlaw (talk) 16:11, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

   I think this was worth a discussion to try and understand where the consensus lay, but didn't need to be as formal as a vote. I do think it was worth bringing up to the community though. - DaveRoss 15:00, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

10. Oppose — Z. b"A. — 18:52, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
11. Oppose Serves no function and is less readable to me. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:09, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

1. Abstain. Also, I don't believe DTLHS' claim. —suzukaze (t・c) 09:03, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

   You don't believe that "some" people are using non-monospace fonts, or you don't believe that "most" people are using non-monospace fonts? I think the former is certainly true, while the latter is probably not. --WikiTiki89 17:14, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
