As a workaround, you can click the "Hide whitespace changes" button.
But it's a little insane that GitLab saves wiki pages with CRLF line
endings, as can be seen when downloading the Markdown source file for
the page.[1]

I see that the wiki is actually a Git repository located at
<ssh://[email protected]/wine/wine.wiki.git>. Could we push a
.gitattributes file to that repository with the line "* text=auto" to
make it use Unix line endings? [2] At the same time, it will be
necessary to run dos2unix over any files that have been accidentally
converted to CRLF and recommit them.
