<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->
This is the <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> meta-template.

This is an auxiliary template allowing to encode "<code>|</code>"
within template parameters. It is necessary if the character is used in wiki table syntax, or if the parameter is automatically wikilinked and you wish to use a pipe to specify different link text from the target page name. In other cases it is better to use "<code>&#124;</code>". 

This template cannot be used for putting the character as text in a wiki table; in that case, again,  "<code>&#124;</code>" can be used.

Note that no special template is needed for "<code>!</code>" (exclamation mark).
