Explanation[edit source]
{{tlg}}
(template link, general) is a general template for inserting a template link. It can be used to replace or implement any of the more specific {{tl*}}
templates, e.g. {{tl}}
, {{tlx}}
or {{tlb}}
. Parameters are:
: Boldface the text, like forbold=yes
{{tlb}}
and{{tlxb}}
: Italicizes the parameters, like foritalic=yes
{{tlxi}}
: Use a monospaced font, like fortt=yes
{{tlx}}
and{{tlxb}}
: Use thecode=yes
<code>...</code>
HTML attribute (usually a monospaced font), like for{{tlc}}
: Don't insert a template link, like fornolink=yes
{{tlf}}
,{{tld}}
, and{{tlc}}
: Allow linking to arbitrary page (not just template), as withanypage=yes
{{tlu}}
: Put braces inside the link, like forbraceinside=yes
{{tn}}
: Add asubst=yes
prefix, like forsubst:
{{tls}}
: Specify alternative surface text for a link, like foralttext=FOO
{{tla}}
Examples[edit source]
- Note
- On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2,..., X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.
