The current "Lorem ipsum" text is long enough that with my display settings the sample text '''already''' flows past the image, so there is no difference in the display when adding <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki>. The shorter the sample text the better, as it will make the effect of the <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki> more obvious. [[User:Meters|Meters]] ([[User talk:Meters|talk]]) 21:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC) 'fraid the sample text isn't actually encoded in the template, so changing the request. [[User:Jo-Jo Eumerus|Jo-Jo Eumerus]] ([[User talk:Jo-Jo Eumerus|talk]]) 08:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC) :I'm well aware that the "Lorem ipsum" sample text is not encoded in this template. My point is that the default "Lorem ipsum" sample text template is excessively long for use in this template for some users (it flows six full lines past the image without the <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki>for me) and it should not be used. Please replace <nowiki>{{loremipsum}}</nowiki> with a shorter sample text or even a short hard-coded string. <nowiki>{{Lorem ipsum span|max len=123}}</nowiki> will reduce the Lorem ipsum template text to just the first sentence.
