And the two columns will be unbalanced. It was perhaps due to this reason that Walkazo started adding {{tem|nw}} to the wikicode, like this:

and this would keep the column widths from differing considerably (which is often the case if you have a wide screen). However, it is ineffective to add them over and over again when doing maintenance work, and I think that this problem can be eliminated by changing the coding of {{tem|foreign names}}. If you look into the coding for {{tem|nw}}, it's just a <code><nowiki><span style="white-space: nowrap;">{{{1}}}</span></nowiki></code>. What about adding the style <code>white-space: nowrap;</code> to the cells for name entries directly? This doesn't hamper the mobile view (because CSS fragments embedded in wikicode are ignored there), and a long name doesn't matter since most desktop view readers have computer screens wide enough to display them.
