TemplateData for Allow wrap

Template to allow an exception to the ambient nowrap in navboxes; idea is that list items over, say, 60 characters warrant an exception to prevent page widening.

• {{Nowraplinks}}...{{Nowraplinks end}} prevents wraps inside links while allowing wraps between links and in normal text. Very useful for link lists and easy to use.
• {{Nowrap begin}}...{{Nowrap end}} prevents wraps in both text and links. For the trickier wrapping cases when you need full control, for instance in very complex link lists.
