[edit] [purge] Template documentation

Usage

Code:

* {{tlx|example|parameter1|parameter2...}}
* {{tlx|SISTER=wikipedia:|example|parameter1|parameter2...}}

Result:

  • {{example|parameter1|parameter2...}}
  • {{example|parameter1|parameter2...}}

This template creates example usage syntax for a template, and links the name to the template page. The "SISTER" parameter specifies an interwiki prefix to link to another wiki.

Technical documentation

Naming

The name is derived from "Template list expanded".

Behaviour

  • Up to 7 pass parameters (numbered) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and more parameters are shown as "|...", for details see the the Wikipedia talk page.
  • If given no additional parameters except 'template name' ({{{1}}}), it displays a simple link wrapped in braces (similar to {{tl}}).
