{Create list} – the opposite of this template
{Trivia} – suggests relocation rather than reformatting of the details in a trivia section
{Expand list} – for use where a list is too short/incomplete
{List to table} – for use where a table would be better than a list
{Table to prose} – for use where prose is preferable to a table
{Example farm} – for articles or sections with too many examples

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Prose in articles based on its TemplateData.
