I noticed that the final full stop was separated from the sentence if only the first parameter was used. To fix this I moved the new code right up against the previous text, but then found that when the second parameter was used, that the new text within the parameter starting with {{xt|at}} also started against the previous text. I didn't want to use a non-breaking space (<code>&nbsp;</code>) and found the best alternative is two thin spaces (<code>&thinsp;</code>). --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 16:26, 4 July 2012 (UTC) | I noticed that the final full stop was separated from the sentence if only the first parameter was used.

:I think what you have suggested is excellent. It will allow for "maintenance" kind of attention to those articles that are needed in other language wikis without detracting from the purpose of the articles. I hope others will chime in on this so that we make sure we understand the intended process and how the template helps. [[User:Lembley|Lise]] 13:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
