The template link template is a simple macro 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:

{{Tl|Example}}
generates
{{Example}}

More complex variations are described below.

Code Result
{{Tl|Void}} {{Void}}
{{Tl2|X1}} {{X1}}
{{Tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}} {{3x}}
{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}} {{WP}}
{{Tl|1==)}} {{=)}}
  • Template:Para
  • {{tlp}} for template with parameters
  • {{tls}} for template statements requiring substitution
NOTE: {{tlg}} is the most general, allowing any combination of the above options.
