I created a MediaWiki template named by the Hebrew letter א (template:א):
<code></code>
I call it by {{א|SOME_textContent}}.
The problem is that after I save the page, I get an empty <code> tag content ( ).
Why do I get empty <code> tag content ( ), instead getting SOME_textContent (the input I gave in call after the vertical bar) ?
You get the contents of the template. Add {{{1}}} in the template where you want the first parameter to be substituted. See help:Templates for more info.
@Bawolff I tried that but it didn't help, please see in Stackoverflow (because the automatic spam filter prevents me from pasting the link here):
Add textContent to HTML via MediaWiki template
as @Tgr: said, = is special. Try making the parameter be 1== e.g. {{alef|1==}} (i dont have keyboard to actually type an alef and bidi is annoying)
