Usage
The template seems to be used in only two pages (check what links here). Shouldn't the template be used in articles...? 
RAP... *blink blink* 2 pages...
Replace?

I see a lot of <br clear=all>. Should it be replaced with {{br}}? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 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 <br clear=all>, both function the same. --

- Wouldn't it make editing pages easier? Also if there is a problem with the source code of {{br}} or the raw code <br clear=all>, all pages that use the template will be corrected automatically. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 17:43, 18 January 2016 (EST)
- Besides that having it in the template is easier maintenance as said, using
clear=allon aBRis obsolete with HTML5. This template uses the correct coding, in addition to not even using aBR.

- The idea is, if the <br clear=all> is preceding the navigation templates, it should be replaced with {{BoxTop}}, otherwise you can safely replace it with {{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.--15:05, 19 January 2016 (EST)
- Yeah, exactly what Megadardery said. Also keep in mind that it can be replaced with {{br|left}} or {{br|right}} when it seems appropriate: it often leads to neater-looking pages than just automatically clearing everything every time. - Walkazo 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 <br clear=all> with {{br}} is a good idea to keep in mind. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 16:18, 19 January 2016 (EST)
