It's not a very big change, but it the way the font is rendered in Courier or Courier New instead of Ariel. Seeing this font type rendered like that above reminds you of that same particular font type when trying to edit a wiki page. It's a hint that gives a subtle nudge in the right direction when trying to make a new proposal, especially for newcomers. It would be notably weird to see <nowiki>===blah BLAH 1234===</nowiki> in Ariel, and not <code><nowiki>===blah BLAH 1234===</nowiki></code> in Courier or New Courier when trying to edit a page. {{User:RAP/sig}} 01:04, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

:No, it should be left as-is. The text which can be copied is already contained within its own space separated by header lines. And the instructions above already invite inexperienced readers to copy from the section below. Most importantly, not all of the section is intended to display an example code: the current instructions provide links to the Writing Guidelines page and the Talk Page Proposals section. It is inconsistent with the rest of the page and looks quite odd to include links while trying to display the same text, just in a way that users would see in their edit box.

Reducing the text to a wiki code example will no longer link to these pages: only the coding will be displayed.
