Hi!
Here is an update on the 'equal signs in URL' business:
I have confirmed (by reading the manual - ouch, that hurt...) that one of the problems with templates is that they are not immediately happy with equal signs in the parameters. The equal sign is used for assigning values to named parameters and/or in any order, but the effect can be overridden. Here is an example:
{{external|[http://youtube.com/results?search_query=audacity+tutorial&search=Search video tutorials on using Audacity]}}
includes equal signs, confusing the parser, and will produce the erroneous
- {{{1}}}
While
{{external|1=[http://youtube.com/results?search_query=audacity+tutorial&search=Search video tutorials on using Audacity]}}
