The '''template link''' (or "tl") 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 the template name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a template by name without invoking it. 

==Examples==
An example of its use is:

::<code><nowiki>{{tl|Example}}</nowiki></code>
:which generates
::{{tl|Example}}


== TemplateData ==
<templatedata>{
"description": "This template displays 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.",
"params": {
  "1": {
    "label": "template name",
    "description": "positional parameter: the template name without the namespace prefix “Template:”, which is added automatically",
    "type": "line",
    "required": true
  }
}}</templatedata>
