Hi there, I've been trying to implement namespace-removal for {{Ll }}'s translated link names. You can see a problem at User:Aaron Liu/sandbox. The first line produces a blank, while the second line, which is just the first line's both cases substituted, produces its stuff correctly. What's wrong here?

There seems to have been an issue with the pipes in your #ifeq:, which I've fixed.
