Purpose

This template simplifies the formatting of example template calls when a link to the page for the template itself is desired. Use Template:T if no link is desired.

This template should only be used in non-article pages such as Iron Chariots Wiki:Templates or Category:Pages for deletion, never in articles.

Usage

With one (required) parameter, this template provides the same simple functionality as Wikipedia:Template:Tl, but with the monospace font formatting of Wikipedia:Template:Tlx:

• {{tl|wikipedia}} → {{wikipedia}}

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

• {{tl|wikipedia|Article title}} → {{wikipedia|Article title}}
• {{tl|wikipedia|Article title|Display title}} → {{wikipedia|Article title|Display title}}
• {{tl|wikipedia|List of apologetic works|Apologetic works}} → {{wikipedia|List of apologetic works|Apologetic works}}

Note that the name "tl" is short for "template link".
