			:::::Here, I found myself in a predicament today for this reason (not on this wiki). The pipe character ( \| ) is used in pretty much any template. Take template:P for example: to link to [[Sandshrew (Pokémon)]], you need to use {{p\|Sandshrew}} with a pipe in it. When moving to the next column in a table, you also use a pipe. When using a template in a table, however, the wiki coding doesn't recognize that the pipe is meant for the template, and thinks it's to advance the table. Because of this, it screws up your template coding. Using {{!}} to the wiki coding is the same as using a pipe for the template, however it's not the same when the code tries to format the table. Therefore, it doesn't screw up your coding. Hope this helps! ←{'''[[User:Berrymaster\|<font color="purple">Berr</font><font color="blue">yma</font><font color="green">ster</font>]]\|[[User_talk:Berrymaster\|<font color="gold">Talk</font>]]\|[[Special:Contributions/Berrymaster\|<font color="silver">Contrib</font>]]'''}→ 02:00, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
