Magic word documentation [edit] []- 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: 
Error
The retired template {{!}} has been transcluded; see Help:Magic words for details. To fix this, use only the code
{{!}} to generate the | (vertical bar) character.
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.
