Description Dan Dascalescu 2008-11-11 09:13:20 UTC
At the URL above, in the table row for [[23hq|23]], in the API column, I need the following to "just work" (TM):

{{yes|[http://www.23hq.com/forums/forum-view?forum_id=132899 23 API forum]}}

The problem is that the equals sign causes the hyperlink to not be rendered at all.

I tried replacing '=' with '%3D', as suggested at a possible related bug 5138, but that only took care of half the problem: the hyperlink title contains the '=' sign correctly, but the URL itself contains %3D, which causes it not to be found by the remote server.

HTH,
Dan Dascalescu

Use proper template parameters syntax. An equals sign in a template parameter is the delimiter between the parameter name and value, in the above case you have a parameter named {{{[http://www.23hq.com/forums/forum-view?forum_id}}} with a value of "132899 23 API forum]". 

Just use {{yes|1=[http://www.23hq.com/forums/forum-view?forum_id=132899 23 API forum]}}

But the best thing to do is name your parameters, if they will potentially contain URLs
