The template link template is a simple macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. A short example is:
{{tl|KHUX}}
- which generates
- {{KHUX}}
More complex variations are described below.
Example[edit]
| Code | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
{{tl|Void}}
|
{{Void}} | Standard usage |
{{tls|Void}}
|
{{subst:Example}} | For templates that should be substituted |
{{tl2|X1}}
|
{{X1}}
|
This formats the link to show how it would look in code |
{{tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}}
|
{{3x}}
|
Same as above, for templates on another Wikimedia project (such as meta) |
{{tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}}
|
{{WP}}
|
For templates on another language project |
{{tl|1==)}}
|
{{=)}} | Use the format {{tl|1=templatename}} if the template contains template coding characters such as {{=)}} or {{!}}
|
