 | This template is used on approximately 2,910,000 pages, or roughly 20357% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template should not be substituted. The markup provided will be confusing to many editors, and as this template provides documentation for itself, there is little justification for substitution. |

TemplateData
This is the TemplateData documentation for this template used by VisualEditor and other tools.
Clear
Makes content wait until existing content is completed in all columns. Often used to stop text from flowing next to unrelated images, so text will appear on a full width line under the image.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Side | 1 | Can be 'right' or 'left' so content is delayed until just the right or left column is complete. The default clears both columns.
| Line | optional |
