This template doesn't seem to be able to take long external links in the parameter? e.g., this works:

[1]

but this doesn't

Well, I'm afraid I know relatively little about wikisyntax. Got any ideas for how to fix this? The Jade Knight ^(d'viser) 14:51, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to Darklama on the Colloquium, the explanation is that the problem is "the "=", because of that it thinks everything before it is the parameter name and everything after the parameter value, and since the parameter name is not 1, 1 isn't set. To work around that you need to be explicit by adding 1=, than the next "=" will be seen as part of the parameter value.". So, it is solved, thus:

[2]

Do you know if there's some way of automatically programming that into the template? Again, I'm a newbie, here. The Jade Knight ^(d'viser) 17:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
