“ This is because the Wikimedia software first renders the wikicode on each page, before transclusion, so the software never notices that a template is closed in a later page: it treats it as normal text. ”

“ To get around this you need to use a "split" form of this template, along with the header and footer fields in the Page: namespace edit view (if you don't have these visible, click the [+] button in the toolbar) . This means that only a single "start" and "end" template appear in the transclusion, but the contained text is not actually inside a template. Each page is also wrapped in the Page: namespace, using the header and footer fields, so it appears correctly both before and after transclusion. ”

“ Middle page text Footer
{{fine block/e}} Last page Header
{{fine block/s}} Body
Last page text {{fine block/e}} Templates that use this system This method is used by many templates. These are "block" level templates like {{fine block}}, as "span" level templates like {{smaller}} don't cause a line break when they are ended. If you need to run a span template across page, simply terminate the first template on the first page, and start a new one on the second. ”
