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.

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:
An example of its use is:


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


:generates
