{{tl}} is used to reference templates on Talk pages etc. Use of it generates a link to the template, wrapped in {{ }} tags and thus looking like an invocation of the template. For a version without brackets, see {{tln}}. For a version which uses code tags, see {{tlc}}.
Usage
The template takes two parameters : {{tl|name|arguments}}.
- required — The name of the template to be linked to.
- optional — Any parameters which should be shown in the example call to the template. Separate multiple parameters with
{{!}}rather than|.
Examples
| Code | Result | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
{{tl|Infobox}}
|
{{Infobox}} | Using {{tl}} with an existing template creates a link to it. |
{{tl|tl}}
|
{{tl}} | Using {{tl}} on the template with the same name just shows the name. |
{{tl|Nonexistanttemplate}}
|
{{}} | Using {{tl}} with a non-existing template name creates a red link with the template preload and editintro. |
{{tl|template|param1{{!}}param2{{!}}param3}}
|
{{|param1|param2|param3}} | The second parameter takes list of parameters to be shown in the example template call, separated either by {{!}} or by |.
