May I simplify the instructions for putting in the definitions of Actors? (I find it IMPOSSIBLE to put line breaks in here!) by Hayford Peirce, copied from here

Right now, when you click on the link, this is what you get:

"(Delete this note, including the enclosing quotation marks, after reading.)
1. In the space above, paste everything *between* the 'nowiki' tags, i.e. from '<noinc...': <nowiki>The {{subpages}} template is designed to be used within article clusters and their related pages.
It will not function on Template talk pages.

<nowiki>
2. Write the definition here (maximum one sentence of 150 characters, ignoring formatting characters). Don't include the term defined in the definition itself, and start the text with a capital letter. 10-30 words are usually enough.


Further details of how a definition should look like are given at https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Definitions#Format_of_Definitions >

I read that over for a LONG time, and it baffled me. Can I change it to:

"(Delete this note, including the enclosing quotation marks, after reading.)"
1. In the space above write the definition (maximum one sentence of 150 characters, ignoring formatting characters). Don't include the term defined in the definition itself, and start the text with a capital letter. 5 - 15 words are usually enough.
