Linking it directly like that does work, but the template is made precisely to avoid that (since it can see the { and know exactly what to link to). SURJECTION ·talk·contr·log· 10:02, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. I've been working on parsing the data dumps and I thought the unbalanced "{" in the template complicated the syntax rules. But it really doesn't, and I agree it's better to use the template. So I reverted it again. Uranographer (talk) 10:07, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
