Wbr indicates a word break opportunity. This template includes the HTML tag <wbr />, which is used to tell the browser of an optional, non-hyphenated line-break. It can be used with:

• {{nbsp}} or the equivalent   (non-breaking space)
• {{nowrap}} or the equivalent <span style="white-space: nowrap;">...</span> or <span class="nowrap">...</span> (character string that will not break even at a normal space) to control line breaking where this is important.

This template can safely be substituted, though there is no particular reason to do so. For breaking up long words, use {{soft hyphen}} instead.
