Template:!
Appearance

- This documentation is transcluded from Template:!/doc. (edit | history)
The magic word {{!}}
is used to escape a vertical bar character |
in wikitext markup, causing the parser to temporarily not interpret it as a special character.
This used to be a template, but for speed reasons, the MediaWiki parser was changed upon the release of version 1.24 (July 2014) to instantly interpret {{!}}
as |
and ignore this template, making {{!}}
a magic word. You can continue to use the code in exactly the same way as before.
{{Template:!}}
, and do not supply any template parameters, such as {{!|foo}}
. In those cases, the template transcludes as an error message:
Usage
The code {{!}}
is used to escape the vertical bar character, |
, so that it is interpreted by the MediaWiki parser later than it would be otherwise. This is mostly useful when trying to include a table in a template.
