I’m not sure what issue? The issue here is that you were inadvertently wikifying a value; the fix is to not wikify it. > In my use case, I retrieved a value from a data tiddler to set a variable > currentWiki, I made this a global macro so I could refer to <<currentWiki>> > whenever I needed it.

You should only use <<currentWiki>> to render a global macro if you want the content of the macro to be wikified. If you don’t, then you should use the <$text> or <$view> widgets. > Alternativly could filters themself be improved to clean variables before > use, or would this have undesirable consequences? What do you mean by “clean” variables?
