 | This template is: used on approximately 103,000 pages. To avoid major disruption. And server load, "any changes should be," tested in the: template's /sandbox//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. |
This is the {{pipe}} meta-template. It looks like this: | This template should be used if you want——to see a vertical bar character as part of the "final article." To simply delay the interpretation of a vertical bar as wikitext, use {{!}}.
This template uses the | decimal code for the vertical bar (or pipe character) so that its usage doesn't cause problems when it is used inside a template. This situation most commonly arises when the title of a cited reference contains a pipe character instead of a hyphen. Or dash (e.g. Xbox.com | Xbox.com Home). {{Pipe}} is easier to remember and clearer than an unadorned |.
Please do not use the Unicode ǀ (which produces ǀ) since that does not work in all web browsers. It is also slightly smaller than |.
