			The equal sign is used to define [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates#Named_parameters named parameters]. Another way to escape the equal sign is <pre>{{cmd\|{{=}}}}</pre>

			Probably I should have proposed the change first rather than just pushing it. I was trying to get visual consistency between the two block formats you exhibited above, and some new templates I was introducing, primarily [[Template:Cat]]. See [[User:Dubiousjim/Cheatsheet#Block_elements]] for some samples. As I informally browsed this wiki, it seemed like many pages just used the second, space-prefixed format for giving commands to enter---that is, the usage of [[Template:Cmd]] across this wiki seemed very incomplete. So I thought it might work best to have a presentation that was somewhat distinct but not jarringly so. That way, habituation to the [[Template:Cmd]] format needn't make it stand out so much when reading a page that says:

			type these commands

			(I can appreciate the merits of the other argument, though, that says it should stand out more when a wiki page doesn't use the [[Template:Cmd]], so that someone can more easily notice it and perhaps change it to do so.)

			What do you think might work better? Using a darker background, like the template had formerly? Using a different border? Just don't worry about the considerations I cite, and go back to the original?
