# Block Quote migration [tag:bug] [tag:status-reproduced]

I received strange "Commonmark migration" edits here:

1) https://meta.stackexchange.com/posts/344867/revisions
2) https://meta.stackexchange.com/posts/345953/revisions

Both quote whitespace formats appear to be valid CommonMark syntax, so I don't know why they were migrated in the first place.

The post-migration format is clearly worse as the quote marks no longer line up in plaintext.
