__NOTOC__

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:

::<code><nowiki>{{tl|example}}</nowiki></code>

:generates

::{{tl|example}}

More complex variations are described below.

=== Related templates ===

{{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>
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}}</nowiki></code>
| <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vorlage:WP WP]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
|}
