==== Common problems with navigation templates ====
{{#if:{{{inner_shortcut|}}} |{{{inner_shortcut|}}} }}

There are several known issues with the current navigation template design that editors should be aware of:

; Shifted header wrapping : A long header used in a narrow navigation template may wrap incorrectly, with the second line being indented further than necessary. A workaround is possible by adding a <code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code> tag between the words where the wrapping is to occur. This should be done to separate link-text to the right of the 'pipe' (<code>|</code>), as follows: <code><nowiki>[[Article title|Article <br /> title]]</nowiki></code>. An alternative method is to use {{tl|allow wrap}} for the link-text as follows: <code><nowiki>[[A very long article title|{{allow wrap|A very long article title}}]]</nowiki></code>, which allows the browser to break as-needed.
; Stretching or overflowed boxes : A very long header formatted as a single link may cause a template to stretch beyond its normal width, or the whole link to extend off too far to the right.  A workaround is possible by breaking the header onto multiple lines, as shown above.<noinclude>
