[
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
This template provides a way to wrap wiki markup, or plain text, in (single) square brackets. More importantly, it helps to keep the markup free of line noise and thus easier to edit.
Usage
{{bracket|[[Wikipedia:Example]]}}→ [Wikipedia:Example]{{bracket|[[Hernals |17th district of Vienna {{bracket|Austria}}]]}}→ [17th district of Vienna [Austria]]{{bracket|plain text}}→ [plain text]{{bracket}}→ [{{bracket| spaced }}→ [ spaced ]
Function
This template is a simple wrapper around the [ and ] HTML entities that produce starting and ending brackets, respectively.
The template cannot output just an ending bracket. You will have to use ] to produce the "]" ending bracket.
This template is not necessary in Citation Style 1 templates. You can simply use square brackets, and they will be treated as ordinary text (and not wiki markup) when it constructs links.
