Template:Tl

{{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}

The documentation for this template is transcluded from Template:Tl/doc. Please edit that page if you want to change something in the documentation. Do not edit this page unless you know what you're doing.

Purpose

This template simplifies the formatting of example template calls (i.e., to show the raw wikicode required) in non-article pages, such as Iron Chariots Wiki:Templates, when a link to the page for the template itself is desired. Use Template:T if no link is desired (for example, in "usage notes" on a template page, in which case the link is unnecessary).

Usage

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

Mnemonic

The name "tl" is short for "template link".

Examples

1. 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|stub}} → {{stub}}
2. With more than one parameter (up to five, total, including the Template name), it works basically like Wikipedia:Template:Tlx, except without the sister-project or language features of that template:
   • {{tl|delete|''reason''}} → {{delete|reason}}

Note

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