[[wikipedia:prose]] is the form language people are most familiar with when communicating. Unlike poetry, bulleted or numbered lists, tables, and other forms of displaying information, prose requires full sentences, placed into paragraphs.
Sometimes, a section in a wiki is currently in something other than prose, but an editor thinks it would be better in a prose form.
For example, take the following bulleted list, 
* Fox McCloud is James McCloud's Son
* He leads Star Fox
* He is friends with Falco Lombardi
and make a paragraph out of it, 
Fox McCloud is James McCloud's Son. He leads Star Fox and is friends with Falco Lombardi.
Just the same, there will be times to where things that are in prose would be better in something else.
Here are the typical situations:
* {{tl|prose}} - to mark it should be in prose
* {{tl|timeline-to-prose}} - to mark a timeline
* {{tl|poetry-to-prose}} - to mark poetry
* {{tl|table-to-prose}} - to mark a table
* {{tl|list-to-prose}} - to mark a list
* {{tl|unprose}} - to mark it should be out of prose
* {{tl|prose-to-timeline}} - to mark that is should be a timeline
* {{tl|prose-to-poetry}} - to mark that is should be poetry
* {{tl|prose-to-table}} - to mark that is should be a table
* {{tl|prose-to-list}} - to mark that is should be a list
