[[File:WhiteSpace.jpg|right|thumb|350px|This Wikipedia article shown here is a stub. It has a minimal amount of body text along with an infobox on the right and a navbox at the bottom. The remainder of the page is blank, known as whitespace.]]
{{shortcut|WP:WHITE}}
'''Whitespace''' refers to any [[Blank space (punctuation)|blank space]] that appears on the published version of a Wikipedia page across all [[Wikipedia:Namespaces|namespaces]] that is free of [[special characters]], [[Wikipedia:Templates|templates]], [[Wikipedia:Multimedia|media]], or other [[HTML elements]]. In other words, it appears as empty, ''white'' space.
Whitespace is not always desirable. It can give the page an untidy appearance and make the article look incomplete. But it cannot always be avoided, and there are times, when used sparingly, whitespace can enhance readability and visual balance, helping readers to better navigate and absorb the content on the page.
