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

Usage

This template is a {{

Template:Tlg

 doesn't have an option to execute that markup (yet).

Examples
{{Template
|first parameter|second|third|...|eleventh}}
{{Template
|first parameter|second|third|...}} if they might contain "=" signs (note the off-by-one notation – parameter 1 remains the name of the template)
{{Template
|first|second|...|999th}} (for more than 10 parameters)
If Template is to be passed more than nine parameters (using up to the tenth of {{Tlxi}}'s own parameters), the remaining parameters have to be baked into the actual eleventh parameter of {{Tlxi}}:

{{Tlxi
|Template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eighth|ninth|<nowiki>tenth|eleventh|twelfth|thirteenth|...</nowiki>}}
or
{{Tlxi
|Template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eighth|ninth|tenth{{!}}eleventh{{!}}twelfth{{!}}thirteenth{{!}}...}}
or
{{Tlxi
|Template|2=first parameter|3=second|4=third|5=fourth|6=fifth|7=sixth|8=seventh|9=eighth|10=ninth|11=<nowiki>tenth|eleventh|twelfth|thirteenth|...</nowiki>}}
→
{{Template
|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eighth|ninth|tenth|eleventh|twelfth|thirteenth|...}}
If a twelfth parameter is passed to {{Tlxi}} (i.e., an 11th to the Template it calls in parameter 1), that parameter's value will be output as "…" and subsequent parameters ignored.
The rest of the documentation is for {{
tlx
}}, which works the same way.


Note: This documentation for {{
tlxb}}, {{tlxc}} (edit · master page
).
This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use
(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{Template
|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}
When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use {{=}}, like so:

{{Template
|first=first value|second|third=third value}}
For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{Template
|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}
Purpose and naming
Mnemonically, template link expanded (after 
template link).
This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.
Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in &#124;. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see 
this talk
 page. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single |... at the end of the parameter list.

Exceptions
If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.
If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters
If the only parameter supplied is {{{1}}}, i.e. a template's name, {{braces – but in a monospaced font
:
{{tl|tl}} produces: {{tl
}}
{{tlx|tl}} produces: {{tl
}}

{{tl
}} will also not take nor display additional parameters.
Named parameters
|subst=

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to tlxs|Welcome}} produces: {{subst:Welcome
}}.

|SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource
), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish
), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Usage
{{tlx|Templatename}}
{{tlx|Templatename|param}}
{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}
{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10&#124;more}}
{{tlx|Templatename|param&#61;value}}
There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.

Examples
 Code  Result  Remarks
 {{tlx|x2|3=two|2=one}}  {{x2|one|two}}  irregular parameter order is okay
Unlimited parameters as one <nowiki>...</nowiki> string
