This is an auxiliary template allowing to encode "
|
" within template parameters. It is
unnecessary
to get a "
|
"; "
|
" is a better choice for this purpose. However, the "
|
" delimiter for a Wiki table must be escaped by a template for use 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
.
