 | This template is used on
??,??,???+ pages, or roughly 5644% of all pages
.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's
/sandbox
or
/testcases
subpages, or in your own
user subpage
. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the
talk page
before implementing them.

Usage
This is the
{{
!
}}
meta-template.
This is an auxiliary template allowing the encoding of "
|
" within template parameters. It is necessary if the character is used in wiki table syntax, or if the parameter is automatically wikilinked and you wish to use a pipe to specify different link text from the target page name. In other cases it is better to use "
|
".
This template cannot be used for putting the character as text in a wiki table; in that case, again, "
|
" can be used.
Note that no special template is needed for "
!
" (exclamation mark).
This is a
high risk template
, and it usually cannot be
substituted
(see conditions for substing on
the section below
).
Substitution
It is possible to
substitute
{{!}} only if an unescaped "
|
" works as expected, i.e. after substituting the template containing {{!}}, or after eliminating an
#if
containing {{!}}.
