Magic word documentation[ਦੇਖੋ] [ਸੋਧੋ] [ਅਤੀਤ] [ਤਾਜ਼ਾ ਕਰੋ]

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 in 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.

Do not use syntax like {{Template:!}}, and do not supply a parameter, for example {{!|foo}}. In those cases, the template transcludes as an error message: Error: The retired template {{!}} has been transcluded; see mw:Help:Magic words#Other for details. To fix this, use only the code {{!}} to generate the | character.

Usage

The code {{!}} is used to escape the vertical bar character, |, so that it is interpreted later than it would be otherwise. This is mostly useful when trying to include a table in a template. For example,

{{rquote|none|text=
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Caption text
|-
! Header text !! Header text
|-
| Example || Example
|-
| Example || Example
|}
}}

yields nonsense:

“ { ” — - Header text Header text

, -

However escaping the bars with this magic word and similar templates gives:

{{rquote|none|2=<nowiki></nowiki>{{(!}}class{{=}}"wikitable"
{{!}}+ Caption text
{{!}}-
! Header text !! Header text
{{!}}-
{{!}} Example {{!!}} Example
{{!}}-
{{!}} Example {{!!}} Example
{{!)}}
}}

“

Caption text

Header text	Header text
Example	Example
Example	Example

”

For how to include a table in a footnote, do:

Example 1{{refn|group=note|This is a note before}}

Example 2{{refn|group=note|1=<nowiki></nowiki>{{(!}}class{{=}}"wikitable"
{{!}}+Example table with two columns
!A column
!Another column
{{!}}-
{{!}} Some data
{{!}} Some more data
{{!)}}<nowiki></nowiki>}}

Example 3{{refn|group=note|This is a note after}}

==Notes==
{{Reflist|group=note}}

Be careful to follow this formatting, otherwise the table may gobble up the subsequent footnote. This can be unnoticeable if there is only one footnote, only causing an issue if a second footnote is added.
