To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article and some additional text to the end of the template. If such article or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the article or the text with a named template parameter. Use 1= if the article contains an equals sign and use 2= if the additional text contains an equals sign (such as a URL).
