Re: [MediaWiki-l] Template Question

[John]

if you name the param and use the = to define it {{template|url = website}}
you will also bypass this issue without having to do special encoding

Use character entities instead. 
(http://www.lmgtfy.com/q=character+entity+reference)

For "=", use "=" instead of the hex code.

At least, it seems to work for me.

Use |2= directly in your template.

To my knowledge this interpretation is incorrect: it is the task of the web 
browser to convert %3D back to appropriate symbols, and a correct URL would 
reach the server either way. May I ask you for an example?

[MediaWiki-l] Template Question

[Rowe, Dolores A]

Dear Teammates,

I have a template which uses parameters, for example {{{2}}} for it's second 
argument,
which is a url.  Some url's are similar to this with a query string:   
http://myserver.com/index.aspx?com=85&id=20.

I figured out that "=" was messing up the template code, so I substituted it's 
hex equivalent "%3D" for both
of the equal signs.  Some target servers can parse this, and some can not, thus 
creating a problem for the users.

Is there any other way to handle this in the template, so that I would not have 
to substitute "%3D" in the url for the "=" sign ?

Thank you,
Lori
