Forgive me if I'm in the wrong location to ask this - but what is it that's put in the source code for the Location Template (!)?

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Location

Thanks — User:Othya


Here is fine, but the Talk page for the template is a bit tidier.
As for your question, I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. What source code? You can see the wiki code for it by clicking edit. But what do you mean by 'it'? — BadCatMan (talk) 13:15, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to take a wild guess that Othya is asking about the {{!}}'s that occur throughout the template, and any other template that produces a table. Those are used to insert the pipe character (aka, vertical bar), " | ", into the output stream and not be interpreted as a separator in an "#if" statement. Does that answer your question?

Yes it does, thank you! I thought it was only showing the vertical bar because it was protected.

Thanks again - User:Othya

One more question that is related.. again I apologize for any ignorance in regards to writing wiki material.
Why if I copy everything word for word does the location template not align things properly for me? Example: copy of location template
Compared to the Template:Location on this wiki.

Thank you - User:Othya
