Line 4: This is the {{tl\|pipe}} meta-template. It looks like this: {{pipe}} This template uses the {{mono\|<nowiki>&#124;</nowiki>}} [[List of XML and HTML character entity references\|decimal code]] for the [[vertical bar]] (or pipe character) so that its usage doesn't cause problems when it is used inside a [[Wikipedia:Help:~~Template~~Template‏‎ \|template]]. This situation most commonly arises when the title of a cited reference contains a pipe character instead of a hyphen or dash (e.g. [http://www.xbox.com/ Xbox.com {{pipe}} Xbox.com Home]). <code>{{tl\|Pipe}}</code> is easier to remember and clearer than an unadorned {{mono\|<nowiki>&#124;</nowiki>}}. Please do not use the Unicode {{mono\|<nowiki>&#448;</nowiki>}} (which produces ǀ) since that does not work in all web browsers. It is also slightly smaller than \|. Line 19: === See also === * [[mw:Help:Magic words#Other\|<nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>]] - A [[Wikipedia:WP:magic word\|magic word]] to encode "\|" within template parameters or wikitables. Note that this one looks the same but has a very different meaning for the MediaWiki parser and thus has different functionality. * {{tn\|'}} - Used to encode apostrophe to keep it separate from <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code> markup.
