If you fail to put <nowiki> tags around a pipe symbol (|), the page can display differently in 'preview' to the saved page.

For example;

=== test one ===
I manually edited all the articles using the template, changing e.g.;

|visitor coach=Fred

|home coach=Bob

to;

|visitor coach=[[Fred]]

|home coach=[[Bob]]

The template code needs a lot more work; to behave itself, it should also do a check to see if the home/away coaches have actually been specified at all

--end of test--

gives this;

test one

I manually edited all the articles using the template, changing e.g.;

|visitor coach=Fred

|home coach=Bob

to;

|visitor coach=[[Fred]]

|home coach=[[Bob]]

The template code needs a lot more work; to behave itself, it should also do a check to see if the home/away coaches have actually been specified at all

--end of test--

The above displays OK in preview, but when saved, the lines wrap.

Note that correct use of <nowiki> fixes the problem;

For example;

=== test two ===

I manually edited all the articles using the template, changing e.g.;

<nowiki>|</nowiki>visitor coach=Fred

<nowiki>|</nowiki>home coach=Bob

to;

<nowiki>|</nowiki>visitor coach=[[Fred]]

<nowiki>|</nowiki>home coach=[[Bob]]

The template code needs a lot more work; to behave itself, it should also do a check to see if the home/away coaches have actually been specified at all

--end of test--

gives this;

test two

I manually edited all the articles using the template, changing e.g.;

|visitor coach=Fred

|home coach=Bob

to;

|visitor coach=[[Fred]]

|home coach=[[Bob]]

The template code needs a lot more work; to behave itself, it should also do a check to see if the home/away coaches have actually been specified at all

--end of test--

The above does show up the same in preview as when saved.
