Line 101:

<nowiki> </nowiki>Where more than one parameter sub-blocks is passed to the template, you must add a comma after the close brace, <code>},</code>, between the sub-blocks. Do not place a comma after the last sub-block in your set, but do make sure that there is a final close brace, <code>}</code>.

A further option, <code>"format"</code>, determines how the wikitext code for the template will be formatted when it is saved by the VisualEditor. ThisThe canprimary haveoptions the optionsare <code>"format": "inline"</code> (the default) orand <code>"format": "block"</code>. With the inline option, the wikitext of the template will be formatted as single -line <code><nowiki>{{Sister project|project = commons|text = page in commons}}</nowiki></code> and with the block option, each parameter will takebe placed on a singlenew line

<pre>{{Infobox television

| show_name = Father Ted

Line 107:

}}</pre>

This option may be preferable for very complex templates like infoboxes which have multiple parameters. The documentation page indicated the format with the line {{small|"This template prefers inline formatting of parameters."}} or {{small|"This template prefers block formatting of parameters."}}

For more complex parameter formatting options, see [[:mw:Help:TemplateData#Custom_formats]].
