[Mediawiki-l] Infobox Song template - how do I implement on my wiki?

Hi Tim,

> {{#if:{{{Caption|}}} | <div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height:

Can't help you with the actual problem, but the {{{!}}} template is
used to pass a | charcter as a parameter in a template call. Just take
a look at the Template:! page to see this.
