See for example this article: leading pipes are replace by l, u, a,...

A workaround is to enclose the pipes with nowiki-tags as I did in the german version of said example. --Fulla07 (talk) 21:12, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure to understand the issue, nevertheless I avoid the use of regular pipeline as a textual element; I use U+2758, &#10072, "Light vertical bar", this: ❘ that doesn't conflict with wiki markup.

Personally, I don't have a problem with this either, but the poem tag is often used for lyrics and in lyrics there are often parts that are repeated.

It seems to be quiet common to put it like this: |: Repeate this once :|

Classic Wikipedia and mobile version have no issue with it, but in the App the first pipe is replaced by another character.

I just wanted to report this, even if it is a minor issue.
