You can't use the equal character directly in a template, you must use the '=' template¹ to "escape" it. {{info|Here is how to use <tt>nomodeset</tt>.

Thanks! Fixed. Someday I'll need to figure out how to know when I'm using a template. That page has a bunch more instances of = that didn't cause trouble. It's easy to understand why wiki pages that needed updating or rewrites don't get them. :-p ...

That's quite easy: Templates get inserted/used by something like {{whatever}} or {{whatever|parameter|another parameter}} or {{whatever|namedparam=somevalue}} so whenever you are inside two curly brackets, you'll need to do the escaping [1]. The above examples should also make it clear why "=" and "|" need escaping when used inside template parameters.

You were lucky to hit that problem ;-) We have 2421 content pages, and more than 11000 pages in total (including talk pages, redirects etc.) in the english wiki. From all these pages, only about 35 use {{=}} and a similar number uses {{!}}. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] Technically the "escaping" is done by using another template that contains a single character - {{=}} is "=" and {{!}} is "|" -- Das ist die Goldene Regel für das Performancetuning von UNIX-Systemen: RAM ist nur durch mehr RAM zu ersetzen.
