Summary: Categorizing and wikilinking with the Pipe

It seems there's no way of categorizing articles by using a template's
parameter if the value needs to be shortened for the article's output like
<nowiki>[[Foo (a word)|Foo]]</nowiki> since <nowiki>[[Foo (a word)|]]</nowiki>
does not parse as <nowiki>[[Foo]]</nowiki> when this construction is used
involving a template. Hence it isn't possible to use one parameter value as a
criteria for categorizing as well as showing this same parameter value
wikilinked in the article output.
Since I don't know if I could explain what I mean here a particular example
which also explains why this is a problem:
If one would have a parameter with the value ''County=Washington County
(Oregon)'' the syntax <nowiki>[[{{{County}}}|]]</nowiki> will not result as
<nowiki>[[Washington County (Oregon)|Washington County]]</nowiki> normally
would but it will show <nowiki>[[Washington County (Oregon)|]]</nowiki>
(however, if you you're setting ''County=Washington County (Oregon)|Washington
County'' the linking works) ... if now one wants to categorize an article by
using the template parameter value -- in the given example the syntax would be
... [[:Category:{{{County}}}]]... -- you need the parameter without Wikilinks
because (in this example) <nowiki>[[Category:{{{County}}}|]] would not have the
intended result. (See
[http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vorlage:Infobox_Ort_in_den_Vereinigten_Staaten&diff=next&oldid=59752142
this] for what I did in the specific case in the template,
[http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Houston&diff=59734396&oldid=59548860
here] is my earlier edit in the infobox and [[File:Infobox USA DE county
2009.jpg|this image]] shows the unwished result.) --~~~~
