(RESOLVED) Using variables / parameters

I'm not sure why this is not working properly. When I try to use this template, the resulting link is created, but the part after the hashmark is always wrong. The resultant link always displays as...

User:Daric_Gaersmith/TES_Fan_Fiction_Collection/Gaersmith_Legacy/Reference_Material/Plot_Ideas#.7B.7B.7B1.7D.7D.7D

...which is to say...

User:Daric_Gaersmith/TES_Fan_Fiction_Collection/Gaersmith_Legacy/Reference_Material/Plot_Ideas#{{{1}}}

I assume that this has something to do with {{#inherit}} but I'm not sure how to use it properly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. – Daric↝talk 10:53, 11 January 2013 (GMT)

The problem here was that I had used a {{#define}} to encapsulate the PlotIdea call into. The simple solution is, when calling this template, use {{{pathtotemplates}}} by itself, as follows...

{{{{{pathtotemplates}}}PlotIdea|Title of the idea}}
