::::::The [http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-SPAN <code>span</code> element] does nothing without attributes (or some crafty CSS {{diff|Help talk:Footnotes|prev|577682408|as I advised here}}); and any pair of HTML4+ tags with no content may be condensed to a single tag - {{tag|span|content=}} → {{tag|span|s}}. Since this ''usually'' does nothing, and is valid at any point in HTML that inline content is permitted, it's safe to use as a separator between two pieces of Wikimarkup, which is what I believe that it's being used for here - to prevent the right-square-bracket immediately following from colliding with whatever goes before. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 14:14, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

::::::: Close. It's being used so the link renders as invisibly as possible. Without it the link would show as "[1]" if the CSS fails to hide it for some reason (e.g. the mobile site stripping inline css), and using various zero-width spaces runs the risk both of being recognized as a space at some point and of showing "tofu" in browsers with poor support for unusual characters.
