Use
This is the {{!}} template.
This template allows "|" to be used in template parameters. This template is needed because in templates, the pipe is usually seen as a separator.
No special template is needed for "!" (exclamation mark).
This template usually cannot be substituted (except in special cases, listed in the section below).
Substitution
It is possible to substitute {{!}} only if a normal "|" works as expected. For example, after substituting the template with {{!}} in it, or after getting rid of an #if with {{!}} in it.
Example
This template code for {{Quotation}} using an ordinary pipe character,
{{Quotation|It is not possible to use an ordinary pipe character | in template parameters. It will be seen as a separator.}}
makes:
It is not possible to use an ordinary pipe character
– in template parameters. It will be seen as a separator.
however, this code using the {{!}} template,
{{Quotation|It is not possible to use an ordinary pipe character {{!}} in template parameters. It will be seen as a separator.}}
makes:
It is not possible to use an ordinary pipe character | in template parameters. It will be seen as a separator.
