40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tl (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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 that the code:
{{tl|example}}
- generates
- {{example}}
More complex variations are described below.
Related templates
{{tl2}} differs in that it displays an arguably clearer result like {{tlx}}, and also takes the named parameters 'SISTER=xx' and 'LANG=ll', so that it may also be used to list and link to templates on other English and non-English language sister projects.
{{tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.
Usage
{{Tl|template name to display}} and {{Tl2|template name to display}} -- local link, just like Tl. or {{Tl2|SISTER=V:|template name to display}} -- displays a template on Wikiversity or {{Tl2|LANG=fr.|SISTER=wikisource|template name to display}} -- displays a template on the French Wikisource sister project. {{tl|1==)}} -- use 1= where the template name contains an equals sign (as [[template:=)]] does).
Example
Code | Result |

{{Tl|x0}}

{{Tl2|x1}}

{{3x}} |
{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}}

{{WP}} |
{{tl|1==)}}
