This template will NOT work for uses such as:

For this, you will need :

message: This doesn't seem to work with , but the code & # 6 1 ; without spaces works fine to make an "=" sign, so would it be a good idea to make this template use the code instead?  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

The content of  is as follows:

message: This template is incompatible with the  template.  For example, Diimide had its short description defined like this: . The Hydrazine article invoked , but that rendered as "Diimide – Chemical compound: H–N{{" instead of "Diimide – Chemical compound: H–N=N–H".
Changing the short description to  fixes the problem.
Is the  template incompatbile with only , or is it incompatible with other templates, as well? -- Mikeblas (talk) 23:33, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a weakness in , which parses the wiki-source rather than what it looks like after rendering. Best I can decipher, that template sees the }} that closes  as the closing of , and nothing after that }} is seen as part of the  template-call at all. Instead of trying to find the correct closing, which would mean having to parse and find matching nested opening/closing, it merely finds the first closeing.

message: I have put a version in the sandbox (Special:Permalink/1090005035) for after phab:T91154, which has been merged but not released yet. It assumes that the = magic word will behave basically the same as the ! magic word and so need the same error message at Template:= as Template:!, which seems to be the case after reading the patch. The only other changes needed should be slight re-phrasing of the documentation.
The error message on ordinary transclusion will be , and it adds the page to :Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word. User:GKFXtalk 20:36, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: There is no real transclusions at the moment. Only a backlog. It is only possible to transclude the template using one of the three redirects to this page. Using  will not transclude the template but use the magic word. Christian75 (talk) 08:57, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Also, I've noticed some redundancy that probably should be eliminated (I'm not sure). To do so, one probably can transclude the template, like here. However, I'm not sure if the engine allows it, and it may result in some confusion. These issues can be fixed by extracting the body into a separate template. Eliminating the redundancy would allow one to edit the text in one place and not have to update the documentation. It would also prevent mistakes resulting from accidental differences in the edits.
