This article originally separated the long first verse into stanzas. It wasn't very readable, and has since all been combined into one.
I feel like that way was good, but by using <poem></poem> tags we can remove ugly line breaks. I hid the text for compactness, so hit "expand" to see how it would render.

- Hm. I had a look at Category:Musical Numbers and I realized just how many songs there are in Family Guy. There seems to be no standard format whatsoever... perhaps we should consider something like that? Elecbullet (talk) 05:31, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Do not change our formatting. Unlike you, I have respect for the work of those in the past and would keep that. I said previously that unless something is misspelled, new or flat out wrong that it stays. I despise using tags, multiple templates or extra formatting as it makes it that much harder for new editors to figure out how to use the wiki. --Buckimion (talk) 12:17, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
- In retrospect I made a very bad choice: I hid the lyrics behind a show/hide. That was simply for compactness on this talk page- I didn't intend to have it hidden in the article, or even inside a wikitable at all, basically all I wanted to do was add
<poem></poem>tags and remove line breaks. - I know that there are wikis with strict "don't use advanced wikitext in articles" policies though, so I will drop it if necessary. Elecbullet (talk) 17:09, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I kink of got that you were showing an example later, but the info was still there and was bogging down the page on the whole, especially when someone decides to look at the entire edit collection and sees a hash of text. Between that and having a space between the lines makes it easier on these old eyeballs when reviewing the text/changes. --Buckimion (talk) 17:20, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
