<p>Copied from MediaWiki.org</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;noinclude&gt;{{Documentation subpage}}<br /> {{timw|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;<br /> This template exists to provide a way to easily escape the raw pipe character (&lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;) in a situation where markup containing it (i.e. a [[Help:Tables|wikitable]]) needs to be passed as a parameter to a template. Parser functions will mangle wikitable syntax and pipe characters, treating all the raw pipe characters as parameter dividers. This template &#039;hides&#039; the pipe from the MediaWiki parser, ensuring that it is not considered until after all the templates and variables on a page have been expanded. It will then be interpreted as a table row or column separator.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Escaping_pipe_characters_in_tables|Escaping pipe characters in tables]]<br /> &lt;includeonly&gt;[[Category:Workaround templates]]&lt;/includeonly&gt;</div>
