Warning examples

edit

If the URL may contain equal signs, the parameters should be numbered explicitly to have the template work as expected (otherwise, parameter value overrides may occur) ; this is more problematic when an explicit display text is provided in parameter 2.

There's absolutely never any problem when the parameter 2 is explicitly passed, but in this case, using this template is not even needed, and standard Wiki link syntax will be fully equivalent and in fact simpler to edit and faster to compute on the server.
