| 40x40px | This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here. |
This is an auxiliary template allowing to encode "|"
within template parameters. It is unnecessary to get a
"|" in these cases, better use "|"
for this purpose. However the "|" delimiter for a
Wiki table has to be escaped by a template if it's used
within a template, see also WP:QIF.
Note that there's no such problem with "!" (exclamation mark), it
only affects "|" (vertical bar) in conjunction
with the m:Help:Parameter_default mechanism within tables.
For obvious reasons this is a high risk template, and it cannot be substituted.
