The template {{Colon character}} produces a single colon character ( : ) without any special interpretation by the mediawiki parser.

For convenience, this template has the alias template:; and is more often called as: 

{{;}}

Semicolon is used because the colon is a not a valid template name.

Normally a colon at the start of a line or element produces a line break and indentation. This template does not.


You type... You get... 
foo{{#if:||:bar}}
foo
bar 
foo{{#if:||{{;}}bar}}
foo:bar


To see how this template is implemented, edit this page and examine the portion between <includeonly> and </includeonly>.
