I see a lot of <nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki>. Should it be replaced with {{tem|br}}? --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 02:42, 18 January 2016 (EST)

:They're perfectly interchangeable, or at least so I believe. I think there's no point in changing all instances of <nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki>, both function the same. --{{User:Henry Tucayo Clay/sig}} 17:27, 18 January 2016 (EST)

::Wouldn't it make editing pages easier? Also if there is a problem with the source code of {{tem|br}} or the raw code <nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki>, all pages that use the template will be corrected automatically. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 17:43, 18 January 2016 (EST)

:::Besides that having it in the template is easier maintenance as said, using <code>clear=all</code> on a <code>BR</code> is obsolete with HTML5. This template uses the correct coding, in addition to not even using a <code>BR</code>. {{User:Lakituthequick/sig}} 14:40, 19 January 2016 (EST)
::::The idea is, if the <nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki> is preceding the navigation templates, it should be replaced with {{tem|BoxTop}}, otherwise you can safely replace it with {{tem|br}}. But I think it's not worth it to mass edit all articles for such a minor change, instead, if you come by it while regularly editing, you can then replace it.--{{User:Megadardery/sig}} 15:05, 19 January 2016 (EST)
:::::Yeah, exactly what Megadardery said. Also keep in mind that it can be replaced with <nowiki>{{br|left}} or {{br|right}}</nowiki> when it seems appropriate: it often leads to neater-looking pages than just automatically clearing everything every time. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 15:59, 19 January 2016 (EST)
::::::We could mass edit if moderators could do a RegExp search and replace or something but I can agree that regular editing instead of seeking edits to be made to replace <nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki> with {{tem|br}} is a good idea to keep in mind. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 16:18, 19 January 2016 (EST)
:::::::This shouldn't be an issue anymore. I just took a bot and changed over all instances of <kbd><nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki></kbd> to <kbd>{{tem|br}}</kbd>. I even accounted for a few instances of <kbd><nowiki><br clear=left></nowiki></kbd> and <kbd><nowiki><br clear=right></nowiki></kbd>. Now this wiki's main articles are HTML5 compliant, as {{user|Lakituthequick}} put it. As the bot was fixing articles, I was monitoring for other edits by hiding my bot edits as this was on-going. Nothing too severe. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 20:25, 21 May 2016 (EDT)
== BoxTop ==
This template should be edited to remove the information about [[Template:BoxTop|BoxTop]], as it [[User talk:Porplemontage#Two Templates|is no longer being used]]. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 13:51, 2 May 2017 (EDT)
== Category ==
What category should go on this article (for it is listed amongst those with no category templates). {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 11:11, 17 May 2017 (EDT)
:[[:Category:Formatting templates]] {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:21, 17 May 2017 (EDT)
::Ok. Then we should add it. (apparently I can't add it) {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 11:23, 17 May 2017 (EDT)
