Template:CheckChar1

The template takes the following 2 parameters:

1. Error message
2. Text parameter

and checks whether the "Text parameter" contains the characters ("), (&) or (#). If yes then an error message is returned. If the Error message (first parameter) already contains some text then the separator ";;" and the new message is appended. If there is no error parameter 1 is returned.

Usage:

{{CheckChar1|1=|2=Text with and not allowed characters like # & or "}}

… results in:

Wrong characters: The input «Text with and not allowed characters like # & or "» contains one of the characters #&" which are not allowed for a generated page name. Please correct it! You can insert later those characters in the subsequent publication form, e.g. as title.
