Template:!

Usage
Use when you need to pass a "|" as part of a template parameter. For example, you may need to pass a piped link to a template. That gets interpreted as two different parameters, however: 1: User:DavidJCobb 2: To fix it, use this template. Then, the parameters will work. 1: User:DavidJCobb

Pitfalls

 * The pipe trick doesn't work.  displays as User:DavidJCobb . The workaround is to explicitly specify the link text.
