Messed up source code in mediawiki template source

Question

Just started with media wiki but i have a weird problem.

I want to copy a simple template "Template:Note" so i visit:

Mediawiki template link

the code of the template that it shows to my browser is:

{{#if: {{{1|}}}|<div class="block-note"><span class="block-contents">|
    [[File:Bulbgraph.png|18px|Note|link=]]}} '''Note:''' {{#if: {{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}</span></div>}}

No i havent copied pasted wrong, this is what it shows. The syntax is wrong ..| is in the wrong places and general the syntax is not correct. Of course it doesnt work if i copy paste, i have to manually correct the syntax.

This happens if i try to export it from the special pages.

Why this is happening?
