==Formatting of long template calls in wikitext==
Is there a style guide (or similar) anywhere that speaks to this subject? I've been long frustrated by editting articles with many calls to the [[Template:Cite|cite templates]]. They tend (when done properly) to run 200-300 characters long. I have a personal preference for using line breaks before and after the curly braces so that each citation stands alone in the wikitext, but letting the parameters run together. Done like this, an edit history or a version diff are legible while the associated text remain visible on the preceding line of the diff. See [[Alzheimer's disease]] for an example.[[User:LeadSongDog|LeadSongDog]] ([[User talk:LeadSongDog|talk]]) 19:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
