Help talk:Pipe trick

Use in category links
I think the Help page should make some mention of the different effect in the category namespace. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 01:52, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Pipes don't seem to work quite the same way inside the &lt;poem&gt; tags. If I put Category:Foo then the result is not Foo but  . The initial colon is elided, but the rest of the link becomes just text, not a hidden link, or even a link at all.
