Most of those tag-box templates allow a parameter "|section" when lowering the tag-box further down the page. For example: <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:RefImprove" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:RefImprove">RefImprove</a>|section|date=November 2024}}</code>. Moving a distracting tag-box can vastly improve the readability for readers, who might otherwise become alarmed and distracted by a 2-year-old gripe box someone threw on the page, unopposed, years ago, giving the impression that the tag-box must be read to avoid critically dangerous information in an article. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Setting_wrap-indent_by_tag_{{wbr}}" data-mw-thread-id="h-Setting_wrap-indent_by_tag_{{wbr}}"><span id="Setting_wrap-indent_by_tag_.7B.7Bwbr.7D.7D"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Setting_wrap-indent_by_tag_{{wbr}}"></span>Setting wrap-indent by tag {{wbr}}<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Setting_wrap-indent_by_tag_{{wbr}}"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Setting_wrap-indent_by_tag_{{wbr}}","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>The template <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Wbr" title="Template:Wbr">wbr</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> can be used to wrap before non-breaking spaces, as <code><code>{{wbr}}</code>&amp;nbsp;</code> at the wrap position, which allows the wrapped portion to be indented by a non-breaking space.

However, the extra space might seem excessive between some words (unless all nearby spaces are doubled). The width to trigger a wrap-indent depends on the user's browser TextSize zoom level, where larger levels trigger the wrapping more often, and a single space indents more at higher zoom. This type of space-adjusting by inserting individual extra space characters is not generally recommended while editing Wikipedia articles. </p><p>This technique has been previously suggested for use to wrap and indent text within infobox lists (where a non-indented wrapped line might be misinterpreted as 2 entries, rather than as a long entry which has wrapped onto the next line), this is not an appropriate technique. Instead, use the <span class="nowrap">{{indented plainlist}}</span> template, which creates semantically-correct HTML lists and uses CSS to control the indentation of list items: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Example use of <code>{{indented plainlist}}</code> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col">Wikitext </th> <th scope="col" style="max-width:4em;">Output </th></tr> <tr> <td><div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="p">{{</span><span class="nt">indented plainlist</span><span class="p">|</span> * A long list item that will likely wrap * Another list item that will also wrap * A short list item * And finally another long list item <span class="p">}}</span> </pre></div> </td> <td style="max-width:10em;"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist" style="margin-left:1em;text-indent:-1em;"> <ul><li>A long list item that will likely wrap</li> <li>Another list item that will also wrap</li> <li>A short list item</li> <li>And finally another long list item</li></ul> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The <code class="nowrap" style="">&lt;wbr /></code> HTML tag also works with older browsers, but not in <a href="/wiki/Internet_Explorer" title="Internet Explorer">Internet Explorer</a> since version 7.

Perhaps the most common fix is to append the blank-code <code>&amp;#160;</code> (or even a comma) after the end quotemark so that it will not wrap too soon: </p> <table class="wikitable" width="415" align="center"> <tbody><tr> <td>Wrapping of end-quotemark plus &amp;#160: <dl><dd>"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs"  (typewriter exercise).</dd></dl> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>To fix wrapping, the word <i>dogs</i> is followed by <code>&amp;#160;</code> (after the quotemark: <code>... dogs"&amp;#160;</code>). Because thousands of articles begin with formally defining a term, with stating a quoted meaning, the forced wrapping of end quotemarks has become a major typesetting nightmare in Wikipedia. The wrapping of end-quotes grew to be so common, during 2005–2009, that it has become instinctive to expect an end-quote to almost always be prematurely wrapped onto a second line, and the first line to be truncated as bizarrely too short. The premature wrapping of the 18-character phrase "dogs...typewriter" is typical, not an exaggeration of how much text gets forced onto the second line in many articles. </p><p>A similar problem occurs with an end-apostrophe &amp; parentheses: </p> <table class="wikitable" width="370" align="center"> <tbody><tr> <td>Typical wrapping of end apostrophe: <dl><dd>The film <i><a href="/wiki/101_Dalmatians_(1996_film)" title="101 Dalmatians (1996 film)">101 Dalmatians</a></i> concerns all the <a href="/wiki/Dalmatian_(dog)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dalmatian (dog)">dalmatians</a>' safety (problem only if a parenthesis after apostrophe).</dd> <dd>The film <i><a href="/wiki/101_Dalmatians_(1996_film)" title="101 Dalmatians (1996 film)">101 Dalmatians</a></i> concerns all the <a href="/wiki/Dalmatian_(dog)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dalmatian (dog)">dalmatians</a>' (there are 100+1 dogs) safety.</dd></dl> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Wrapping of end-apostrophe plus &amp;160: <dl><dd>The film <i><a href="/wiki/101_Dalmatians_(1996_film)" title="101 Dalmatians (1996 film)">101 Dalmatians</a></i> concerns all the <a href="/wiki/Dalmatian_(dog)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dalmatian (dog)">dalmatians</a>'  (there are 100+1 dogs) safety.</dd></dl> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Besides using <code>&amp;#160;</code> other characters, such as comma, semicolon or slash, could be appended after the end quotemark, if they fit the meaning.

Then, even when the page is viewed in larger browser text-size settings, the joined text will float down to columns where the typesetting looks more logical, rather than the default, of one-word-per-line, in a narrow column.
