Template:!/doc
 |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:! (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories, and other content that are not part of the original template page. |
 |
This template is used on 9,000+ pages. (count) To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes should first be tested in the template sandbox or a user subpage. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This is an auxiliary template allowing to encode "|" within template parameters. It is necessary if the character is used in wiki table syntax. 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 cannot be substituted.
