Bug ID: 49739
Summary: Template Inspector uses nowiki tags instead of
preserving explicitly declared positional parameters
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Editing Tools

If you explicitly declare positional parameters in a template, and then edit it
with the Visual Editor, the Template Inspector converts it to implicitly
declared positional parameters - i.e. {{some template|1= foo |2= bar }} becomes
{{some template|foo|bar}}.
Now, if an explicit positional parameter contains an equals sign, then the
Template Inspector puts nowiki tags around it. So {{some template|1= foo=bar
|2= baz }} becomes {{some template|<nowiki>foo=bar</nowiki>|baz}}. However,
"foo=bar" and "<nowiki>foo=bar</nowiki>" are not equivalent wikitext. For
example, nowiki tags will break wikilinks.
There's an example of the difference in this diff:

template" section).
