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

This template adds a formatted MediaWiki parser or extension tag that links to the help or extension page. This template is similar to {{tag}}, but it links the tag and defaults to open.

Parser and extension tags

For a machine-generated list, see Special:Version#mw-version-parser-extensiontags. It may include tags not documented here.

Parser tags: <gallery>, <includeonly>, <noinclude>, <nowiki>, <onlyinclude>, <pre>

Extension tags: <categorytree>, <charinsert>, <chem> (alias <ce>), <graph>, <hiero>, <imagemap>, <indicator>, <inputbox>, <mapframe>, <maplink>, <math>, <math chem>, <poem>, <ref>, <references>, <score>, <section>, <syntaxhighlight> (alias <source>), <templatedata>, <templatestyles>, <timeline>

Parameters

first parameter (mandatory): the name of the HTML tag
second parameter: what type of tag to display:
- p or pair: display a matched pair of open-and-close tags
  - To suppress the ellipsis which appears between the tags, add an empty |content= parameter
- o or open (default): display only the opening tag of an open-and-close pair
- c or close: display only the closing tag of an open-and-close pair
- s or single: display a single tag
content= the text content of the tags
params= any parameters to be included in the opening tag

Code example	Effect	Notes
`{{Tj \|Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref: yes\|category: no\|lang: fr}}`	{{Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }}	Supports colors, placeholder texts, named and unnamed parameters
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> {{Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }} </syntaxhighlight>	{{Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }}	Same as above
`{{Tji \|Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref: yes\|category: no\|lang: fr}}`	{{Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}	Supports colors, placeholder texts, named and unnamed parameters
`<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}</syntaxhighlight>`	`{{Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}`	Same as above
`{{tl2\|Hatnote\|lang=fr}}`	`{{hatnote}}`	Supports linking to sister projects (e.g., fr:Hatnote)
`{{demo\|<nowiki>{{Hatnote\|lang=fr\|Some text}}</nowiki>}}`	{{hatnote\|lang=fr\|Some text}} Some text	Shows code and example
`{{tln \|Hatnote}}`	Template:Hatnote	Produces a normal link to the template
`{{elc\|Template:Hatnote}}` `{{elc\|Template:Hatnote\|Hatnote}}`	`[[Template:Hatnote]]` `[[Template:Hatnote\|Hatnote]]`	Formats wikilink, with optional piped link text and blended suffix
`{{ml \|Example\|hello}}`	{{#invoke:Example\|hello}}	Counterpart to {{ tl }} for linking to Lua modules
`{{mfl \|Example\|hello}}`	{{#invoke:Example\|hello}}	Similar to {{ ml }}, but expects the function to be documented and creates a link to the corresponding section
`{{mlx \|Example\|hello}}`	`{{#invoke:Example\|hello}}`	Counterpart to {{ tlx }} for linking to Lua modules
`{{ml-lua \|Module:Example\|hello}}`	`require('Module:Example')`	Link to Lua modules and built-in libraries, showing Lua code.
`{{para\|title\|<var>book title</var>}}`	`\|title=book title`	Formats template parameters for display, with or without values
`{{sclx\|LASTING}}`	`[[WP:LASTING ]]`	Takes a shortcut suffix in project namespace and displays it with brackets and the `<code>...</code>` tag.
`{{tag\|ref}}` `{{xtag\|templatedata}}`	`<ref>...</ref>` `<templatedata>`	Formats [X]HTML tags; can add content, choose opening, closing, or self-closing
`{{dtl \|Ping project}}`	{{d:Ping project}}	Wikidata counterpart to {{ tl }}
`{{pf \|if\|{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}`	{{#if}} {{#if:{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}	tl }}
`{{magic word\|uc:}}`	{{uc:}}	Magic word links
