New parentheses code breaks (near-)Woodall multi-reservation link

Multi Reservation:14 (which is the reservation for my personal project for filling in the gaps in Woodall and near-Woodall k's) uses a custom piped link in its name, designed to display a formatted k in the link output. However, the new code in this template is deleting the link due to the parentheses around "Near", resulting in ugly code displaying on Riesel 2 Missing-range. While the merits of a redlink to a page that will likely never be created are debatable, ideally this template should only omit the link for a contributor when the whole string is parenthesized, not just part of it. -happy5214 03:53, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I've change the name without Vk-template, so no using of "!" as delimiter for the link. In the missing range table there's no link, because the MR-Name contains a "(", which the template will ignore to make a link from it. Users in brackets do not get a person page from this, until the real name is known and inserted instead. Karbon (talk) 08:05, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
