I used this template in [[New England Historic Genealogical Society#Guides]] for a Ref Q book called the '''Greenlaw Index of the New England Historic Genealogical Society'''. Something makes the template fall apart after a few saves when the pipe turns into multiplying ampersands. I suspect it has to do with the unusual nature of the call number. Can this be fixed?

: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.
 
::But when I switched to WikiText it changed to this: [{{FHL|974 D22g}}]. When I clicked Save page the new normal text display was changed to [{{FHL|974 D22g}}]. The curly brackets and pipe were now visible where they should not be.
 
::When I went back to edit mode and switched into WikiText the template had transformed into [{{FHL|974 D22g}}]. So we have the return of the multiplying ampersand. [[User:DiltsGD|DiltsGD]] 14:48, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
