:I took a quick look and did not see what you were talking about, sorry. Are you referring to the Call Number of "974 D22g"? I do not see anything unusual about the call number. Every multiplying ampersands that I have seen had to do with the Rich Editor and would guess this is the case here too. Definitely the template would not have turned the pipe into something else.

::I went back to the troublesome Template:FHL spot and like you found nothing unusual in regular text. When I clicked the edit button it still looked normal. <br> | ::I went back to the troublesome Template:FHL spot and like you found nothing unusual in regular text.

::When I went back to edit mode and switched into WikiText the template had transformed into '''[{{FHL&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#124;974 D22g}}]'''. So we have the return of the multiplying ampersand.

:::Definitely would be the editor as suspected. I am not so sure that it has ever been fixed. Out of curiosity, why do you put the template inside of the square brackets? The template creates the link. I am wondering if the square brackets is causing the editor to think that a pipe needs to encoded. Why not just do a <nowiki>{{FHL|974 D22g}}</nowiki> which generates {{FHL|974 D22g}}? Want to try it?

:::::Understood, but the Wiki interprets square brackets as something else and is likely causing the problems for you. As I recall, the format of the display was discussed in a meeting and the FHL template was generated based upon that. Maybe it should be discussed again, not really sure.

::::::I changed the square brackets to parenthesis and the whole problem went away. No more multiplying ampersands, and a normal call number display were the result. Thank you very much!

:::::::That is good to know (& not unexpected in my opinion). Thank you for the update. Sorry that the editor does that. [[User: | :::::::That is good to know (& not unexpected in my opinion).

The table is there (now that my preferences had been restored to my taste), this is the problem with the FHL templates versus the tables. Regardless of any template is used, they cause the cells to widen. I am showing only one link to the Catalog to illustrate the problem. [[User:Dsammy|Dsammy]] 23:13, 14 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
