Template:Tl2

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is the {{tl2}} template.

{{tl2}} is similar to {{tl}}. Tl stands for Template link. {{tl2}} is a macro 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.

{{tl2}} differs from {{tl}} in that it displays with a wider text style, like {{tlx}}, and also 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.

Related template

{{tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.

Usage

• {{Tl2|template name to display}} -- local link, just like Tl.
• {{Tl2|SISTER=V:|template name to display}} -- displays a template on Wikiversity
• {{Tl2|LANG=fr.|template name to display}} -- displays a template on the French Wikisource sister project.

Example

Code	Result
{{Tl|x0}}	{{x0}}
{{Tl2|x1}}	{{x1}}
{{Tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}}	{{3x}}
{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}}	{{WP}}
