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.

__NOTOC__
==Documentation==


==Examples==
{{Tlx|Tl}} and {{Tl|Tl2}} are simple [[w:macro|macro]] [[m:Help:template|templates]] used to display a template name as a link. '''Tl''' stands for '''T'''emplate '''l'''ink.
An example of its use is:


::<code><nowiki>{{tl|Example}}</nowiki></code>
:Tl2 differs in that it displays an arguably clearer result like {{[[Template:Tlx|Tlx]]}}, and also like 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''.
:which generates
::{{tl|Example}}


;related: {{Tl2|Tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.
== Usage ==


== TemplateData ==
<pre>
<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.",
{{Tl|template name to display}}
"params": {
and
"1": {
{{Tl2|template name to display}} -- local link, just like Tl.
"label": "template name",
or
"description": "positional parameter: the template name without the namespace prefix “Template:”, which is added automatically",
{{Tl2|SISTER=V:|template name to display}} -- displays a template on Wikiversity
"type": "wiki-template-name",
or
"required": true
{{Tl2|LANG=fr.|SISTER=wikisource|template name to display}} -- displays a template
}
                      on the French Wikisource sister project.
}
</pre>
}</templatedata>
