| The '''template link''' template is a simple [[w:Macro (computer science)|macro]] [[m:Help:template|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:
| | ==Examples== |
| | An example of its use is: |
|
| |
|
| ::<code><nowiki>{{tl|example}}</nowiki></code> | | ::<code><nowiki>{{tl|Example}}</nowiki></code> |
| | :which generates |
| | ::{{tl|Example}} |
|
| |
|
| :generates
| |
|
| |
|
| ::{{tl|example}} | | == TemplateData == |
| | <templatedata>{ |
| | "description": "This template displays 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.", |
| | "params": { |
| | "1": { |
| | "label": "template name", |

| | "type": "wiki-template-name", |

| === Related templates === | | <includeonly>[[Category:link templates]]</includeonly> |
| | |
| {{tl2|tl2}} differs in that it displays an arguably clearer result like {{tlx|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|tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call. | |
| | |
| === Usage ===
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| {{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.
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| === Example ===
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| ! Code
| |
| ! Result
| |
| |-
| |
| | <code><nowiki>{{Tl|x0}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | {{[[Template:X0|x0]]}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | <code><nowiki>{{Tl2|x1}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[{{{LANG|}}}{{{SISTER|}}}{{ns:Template}}:x1|x1]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
| |
| |-
| |
| | <code><nowiki>{{Tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[{{{LANG|}}}M:{{ns:Template}}:3x|3x]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
