Template:!
|
Usage
Use when you need to pass a "|" as part of a template parameter. For example, you may need to pass a piped link to a template.
{{Some template|[[User:DavidJCobb|]]}}
That gets interpreted as two different parameters, however:
1: [[User:DavidJCobb 2: ]]
To fix it, use this template.
{{Some template|[[User:DavidJCobb{{!}}]]}}
Then, the parameters will work.
1: [[User:DavidJCobb|]]
Pitfalls
- The pipe trick doesn't work.
[[User:DavidJCobb{!}]]
displays as [[User:DavidJCobb|]]. The workaround is to explicitly specify the link text ([[User:DavidJCobb|DavidJCobb]]
).
