Description Daniel Kinzler 2014-03-21 14:38:26 UTC 
wbparsevalue accepts multiple strings to parse in one request. These are passed as a pipe-separated list via the values parameter. This means that the strings themselves cannot contain a pipe.

To solve this, we could:

a) deprecate the values parameter, and introduce a value (singular) parameter, which wouldn't have said problem.

b) encode the values in json (using a different parameter name, or a compatibility switch)
