Template:T

{{{{{1}}}}}

Purpose

This template simplifies the formatting of example template calls in non-article pages, such as on template pages themselves (to show examples of usage). Use Template:Tl if you want the template name to be linked to the page for the template itself (e.g., when used on non-template pages).

This template should never be used in articles in the main namespace.

Usage

• {{t|Template name}}
• {{t|Template name|parameter}}
• {{t|Template name|parameter1|parameter2}}
• {{t|Template name|parameter1|parameter2|parameter3}}
• {{t|Template name|parameter1|parameter2|parameter3|parameter4}}

Mnemonic: The name "t" is short for "template".

Examples

With one (required) parameter, this template provides the same simple functionality as Wikipedia:Template:Tl, but without the link and with the monospace font formatting of Wikipedia:Template:Tlx:

• {{t|wikipedia}} → {{wikipedia}}

With more than one parameter (up to five, total, including the template name), it works basically like Wikipedia:Template:Tlx, except, again, without the link and also without the sister-project or language features (see that template for details):

• {{t|wikipedia|''Article title''}} → {{wikipedia|Article title}}
• {{t|wikipedia|''Article title''|''Display title''}} → {{wikipedia|Article title|Display title}}
• {{t|wikipedia|List of apologetic works|Apologetic works}} → {{wikipedia|List of apologetic works|Apologetic works}}

Remember, the purpose of this template is to display the raw wikicode of an example template call.
