if you name the param and use the = to define it {{template|url = website}} you will also bypass this issue without having to do special encoding

I have a template which uses parameters, for example {{{2}}} for it's
second argument,
which is a url. Some url's are similar to this with a query string:
http://myserver.com/index.aspx?com=85&id=20.
I figured out that "=" was messing up the template code, so I
substituted it's hex equivalent "%3D" for both
of the equal signs. Some target servers can parse this, and some can
not, thus creating a problem for the users.
Use character entities instead. ( http://www.lmgtfy.com/q=character+entity+reference)
For "=", use "=" instead of the hex code.
At least, it seems to work for me.
