Template:!) on Wikipedia

Usage

The {{(!}}, {{!}}, and {{!)}} templates produce table codes for {| (start of wiki table), | (new cell in wikitable), and |} (end of wikitable) sequences, so that wikitables can be built inside templates without vertical bar ( | ) characters interfering with template parser functions.

There is also a {{!-}} template to produce |- code for a new row in a table, but you can also use {{!}}- to achieve the same thing.

Example

The following code within a template would result in table coding where the vertical bar (|) characters don't interfere with any parser functions that the table falls within.

What you put in the template

Works like you would normally expect this code to work
