Revert "Sanitize | characters in descriptions"
Reverted, backported. People put stuff like {{w|foo}} in descriptions, and that should continue to work. Seems hard to do without doing some lightweight wikitext parsing.
Escaping | as {{!}} (like @MarkTraceur did) should do the job, since the latter is a core parser function.
The problem is that some pipes should not be escaped at all. Photos by: Ernesto Di Stefano | George Pimentel Photography should be converted into description={{en|Photos by: Ernesto Di Stefano {{!}} George Pimentel Photography}} (or |, does not matter much) but Photos by: Ernesto Di Stefano {{w|George Pimentel Photography}} should result in description={{en|Photos by: Ernesto Di Stefano {{w|George Pimentel Photography}} }}.
