Is there any reason why whitespace is set to 'nowrap' for the URLs?  On articles with long names, it makes the infobox very wide, and can be quite overpowering on smaller screens.  Here is an example - [[Srpskohrvatski Wikipedija / Српскохрватски Википедија]].  Discuss please :)  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 16:07, 21 June 2011 (PDT)

:It makes autoformatting much easier in the vast majority of cases. In cases where the title is excessively long, the boolean parameter "wide_logo" should be used to force the URLs to appear under the logo. If that's still not enough, the title should be artificially broken into two lines with a <br/> tag in the "name" parameter.

::Koveras – thanks for your reply :).  I agree that the name parameter ''can'' be used, and with a forced line break – I'm just struggling to understand why there is an aversion to not allow breaks in URLs :/  Anyway, I'll try to remember the name parameter in future!  Rgds, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 05:06, 23 June 2011 (PDT)
