Wikipedia:Advanced text formatting → Help:Advanced text formatting – This is an informative help page with very little highly-opinionated material (which can be painlessly massaged away); should be tagged with {{Wikipedia how-to}}, not just {{Essay}}, and recategorized. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 00:33, 19 August 2015 (UTC) Relisted.

In common use, is the template {{Nbsp}} (a.k.a. {{Spaces}}) preferred to & nbsp;? —GoldRingChip 13:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

in the blockquotes the paragraph tags width of 30em is too wide on mobile.

the quotes extend past rhe right edge, allowing me to scroll the entire page horizontally, or zooming out, leaving a blank strip at the right side of the screen – but allowing me to read the entire blockquote Joshinils (talk) 04:48, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

bold but not too bold; are fixed color values still a current recommendation?

Seeing as dark mode is available everywhere now, is using the light-gray color value of #666666 as a fixed-value still a good idea?

What'd be the alternative?

Is there a CSS variable or class for that instead now? Joshinils (talk) 04:54, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the 'Changing font faces' section the last three fonts look the same.

In Help:Advanced text formatting - Wikipedia the last three fonts listed look the same, this being the fonts for; Linux Libertine, Noto Sans and Times New Roman. Even the n in the texts look the exact same, is there something wrong with the source code for that section regarding the Font Family names or am I missing something?
