[Solved] The {{Note}} template cannot contain URL with "?"?

See the second "Note" box at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To … ctional.29. The source is

{{Note|The GPointingDeviceSettings info http://live.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettings and http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25663 should help.}}

The only thing that seems wrong is the question mark. If I remove that, the info box shows, but that of course breaks the link.
PS. Another unrelated question: the forum doesn't support inline code, right?

You need to escape certain characters like '|' - either use html entities or <nowiki>|</nowiki>.

Edit: The problem was with '=', not with the '?'. Use

{{Package AUR|gpointing-device-settings}}

wiki templates to fix such issues.
