Wiki markup for Replying and New Topic

The Replying and New Topic tools both currently do not not readily provide Wiki markup and requires copy and pasting from the standard source editing page. Could we implement this especially "|" required for templates such as Talk quote inline?

Could you provide step-by-step to reproduce this issue? What do you want to insert and what you want to achieve instead?

When I reply to someone on Wikipedia, I want to use the Template:Talk quote inline (Template:Talk quotation) to quote someone else or policies and guidelines. For that I need to type in {{tq|text I want to quote}} to generate text I want to quote. However, Replying and New Topic currently do not permit me to insert the special character "|" that comes between "{{tq" and the quote.

Make sure you use sourcecode editor. The switch is on the bottom-right corner of reply editor.

I am always using the source editor but like I said, I could not find the button for the special character "|" and I always have to open another editing page to copy and paste it to use the Talk quote template.

What exactly happens when you type it from keyboard? You are using other input methods?
