Tl

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

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Purpose

This template simplifies the formatting of example template calls in non-article pages, such as Mathematics: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 template pages, where the link would be unnecessary). This template should never be used in articles in the main namespace.

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}}

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|wikipedia}} → {{wikipedia}}
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|wikipedia|''Article title''}} → {{wikipedia|Article title}}
   • {{tl|wikipedia|''Article title''|''Display title''}} → {{wikipedia|Article title|Display title}}
   • {{tl|wikipedia|James Bernoulli|Jakob Bernoulli}} → {{wikipedia|James Bernoulli|Jakob Bernoulli}}

Mnemonic

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