Explanation

This template is a general template for inserting a template link. It can be used to replace or implement any of the more specific {{tl*}} templates. Parameters are:

  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Boldface the text, like for {{tlb}} and {{tlxb}}
  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Use a monospaced font, like for {{tlx}} and {{tlxb}}
  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Use the <code>...</code> HTML attribute (usually a monospaced font), like for {{tlc}}
  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Don't insert a template link, like for {{tlf}}, {{tld}}, and {{tlc}}
  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Allow linking to arbitrary page (not just template), as with {{tlu}}
  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Put braces inside the link, like for {{tn}}
  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Add a Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight" prefix, like for {{tls}}
  • Unknown extension tag "syntaxhighlight": Specify alternative surface text for a link, like for {{tla}}
Code Result Remark
{{tlxb|Template name}} Template:Tlxb
{{tlxb|Template name|parameter1|parameter2}} Template:Tlxb
{{tlxb|Template name|parm1|parm2{{=}}foo}} Template:Tlxb Equal signs need to be escaped using {{=}}.
{{tlxb}} Template:Tlxb This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked.
{{tlxb|SISTER=m:|3x}} Template:Tlxb Link to page on another wiki.

I.e., it's a {{tl}}-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's main use is in distinguishing between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.

The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use {{tlu}} instead).
