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

Template documentation

{{Tlx|Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}} → {{Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}}

{{Tlx|Template|2=first parameter|3=second|4=third|...|11=tenth}} → {{Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}} if they might contain "=" signs.

{{Tlx|Template|<nowiki>first|second|...|999th</nowiki>}} → {{Template|first|second|...|999th}} (for more than 10 parameters)

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically 'Template link expanded'. After {{Tl}} 'Template link'.

This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template could be coded, literally. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.

If given no additional parameters except 'template name' ({{{1}}}), </syntaxhighlight> it presents the same as the similar {{Tl}} macro template -- a blue link nested in curly-braces-- the same as a user would apply the template without parameters, but with a noticably clearer font and spacing on most modern browsers.


{{Tl|Tl}} display compared to {{Tlx|Tl}}: (Tl: {{Tl}} versus Tlx: {{Tl}})
Comparatively, {{Tl}} will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may be preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions.
