Use Template:- after any floating elements and before elements you do not wish to float together with the first set. This uses a line break, which may introduce an ugly extra blank line. If you want to avoid that, use Template:Clear instead. Do not use this template to deliberately add whitespace and blank lines between non-floating elements.
Details
{{-}} contains the markup:
<br style="clear:both;" />
This causes any previously established float to clear.
Optionally, you can clear only left- or right floating elements by using {{-|left}} or {{-|right}}.
The unusual name of this template is a mnemonic for an imaginary horizontal line, which separates floating elements above from those below. Some editors prefer the mnemonic {{Clr}} ("clear"), which simply redirects here. However, do not confuse {{Clr}} with {{Clear}}, which is a different template that uses <div></div> instead of <br /> and so does not introduce an extra line break.
Examples
| Example sidebar |
|---|
| In these examples, the {{sidebar}} template is used to create a simple right floating table. For better examples check out the links. Please add missing {{-}} where necessary. This sidebar is only a quick example. |

First
In the first example {{-}} after the word browser guarantees that the table does not float into the second example.
- Cute, but less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.

Second
In the second example the position of {{-}} is after the word but. Note that it does not affect the left margin of the bullet * list, because it is used inside of it.
- Cute, but
less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.

Third
The third example has a new line after the word but and {{-}} after the word browser.
- Cute, but
less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.

Fourth
The fourth example has {{-}} and a new line after the word but.
- Cute, but
less funny if it overlaps the next table or section, causing horizontal scrolling or worse depending on the browser.
