::When I went back to edit mode and switched into WikiText the template had transformed into '''[{{FHL&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?

::::My square brackets are just punctuation. I was taught to put brackets around call numbers in a citation situation.

:::::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! [[User:DiltsGD|DiltsGD]] 18:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
