Pipes in links

Hello, Sheistoofondofbooks! I notice you’ve been using pipe characters | to separate the hypertext from the URL in external links. Unlike internal cross-references, in these cases the separator should be an ordinary word-space (which cannot be part of a URL). I happened across a couple in the Thomas Worthington article; if you go to the previous version in the history, before I fixed the external links, you‘ll find that the ones with the pipe in them don’t work when clicked. Just thought I’d alert you to the difference before it becomes a habit. Feel free to ping me if the above is unclear, and happy editing!—Odysseus1479 17:22, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
