:::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? [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas_Lerman]] 15:00, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Sounds fine to me. I was talking to people (FS folks) about this a while back. It was against what was decided in a tech meeting and I could see the case for it either way. I never heard back, so it was never documented. [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas_Lerman]] 16:33, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

== Using template for place search==


I see that the template allows for subject/title/keyword searches, but I don't see options for linking to places, last name, or author search. There are especially a lot of links out there to places. Is there a way to do that? [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]]
