Turns out that this is because '=' is a no-no in a template argument (see {{WM|Help:Template#Restrictions_on_parameter_values|here}}), and a lot of the URL's people were trying to use included an =. I'll work out a work-around, and document it. [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J. Noel Chiappa]] 15:06, 6 March 2008 (CST)
