[Mediawiki-l] Leading or trailing spaces in template parameters

[Jean-Marc van Leerdam]

Hi,

2009/3/31 Kenneth Porter <shiva at sewingwitch.com>:
> I want to pass an argument to a template that contains a leading and
> trailing space. It looks like the template parser is stripping these before
> evaluating the parameter. Is there a way to prevent that?

>
> I want to pass " M A " to the Guildbox template's name parameter. It will
> get expanded into a string to render in an off-site URL. Currently it gets
> rendered as "M+A", not "+M+A+", so the URL doesn't connect to the desired
> page.
