Thank you so much for doing these tests, User:Mataglap. It is really useful to see these different ideas of layout.

I think at the moment, my favourite is the table layout. I feel like it is the one that uses the most efficiently the space offered by a wiki. Could it be tweked so the title is preferentially on one line? I feel like the "Twilight avoidance" text disappears a bit when it is on two lines. --Audrey Azura (talk) 10:31, 18 November 2024 (MST)

Line breaks generally should be flexible so for different people on different devices everything wraps to fit on the screen. If you can, change the width of your browser window and you can see how it wraps at different widths. For some people the "text disappears" but not for everyone, depending on their phone, computer, browser, and situation.
But if you want to make sure wrapping doesn't happen between two words use
Twilight&nbsp;Avoidance

instead of

Twilight Avoidance

.

&nbsp;

is a "non-breaking space".

You don't want to over use it, but there are times when it's absolutely the right thing to do. I would not use it in spell titles such as those in The Contested Isle Ch 6#Indrechtach’s Holy Magic
If you look at the source of this comment, there's alittle HTML trickery going one, because certain strings that start with an ambersand and end with a semi-colon are special.
