Tempilet:Template link

{{Foo}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template link displays a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing the template name as code rather than actually invoking it.

Note that this template has aliases Tempilet:TLX ("T el") and Tempilet:TLX ("T one"). They should not be confused with Tempilet:TLX ("T eye"), which is an alias for Tempilet:TLX.

{{Tla}} works exactly like {{tl}} but allows displaying alternative label text (link label).

{{Tlg}} can display parameters for the template.

Examples

A short example of its use:

{{tl|Example}}

which generates

{{tl2|X1}}	{{X1}}	This formats the link to show how it would look in code (i.e., monospace font)
{{tl2|sister=M:|3x}}	{{3x}}	Same as above, for templates on another Wikimedia project (in this example, Meta, using m:). See Interwiki codes.
{{tl2|sister=wikibooks|lang=de:|WP}}	{{WP}}	For templates on another language project
