Usage

The template see also link template is a simple macro template used to display the message "See also:" and 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.

Examples

{{Template see also|1x}}

See also: {{1x}}

{{Template see also|1x|2x}}

See also: {{1x}} and {{2x}}

{{Template see also|1x|2x|3x}}

See also: {{1x}}, {{2x}}, and {{3x}}

General-purpose formatting

Comparison of template-linking templates according to the styles of generated text and link produced

Text style ↓	{{tlg}} options to achieve text style	Link style
		Linked	Unlinked	Linked with subst	Unlinked with subst	Linked including braces	Linked with alternative text
{{tlg}} options to achieve link style	—	DEFAULT	nolink=yes	subst=yes	nolink=yes|subst=yes	braceinside=yes	alttext=Foo 2=Foo
normal	DEFAULT	{{tlg}} {{tl}} {{tlp|1|2|...}} {{Template:tlu}}	{{tlf}} <template link>	This template, often abbreviated as {{}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}. Parameters With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options. Parameter Action Use with {{example}} Default active Default (without accessory parameters) {{example}} brace Include braces as part of the template link {{example}} {{tlw}}/{{tn}} braceinside Include innermost braces as part of the template link {{example}} bold Renders the template link/name in bold {{example}} {{tlb}}, {{tlxb}} code Display output using HTML ‎<code>...‎</code> tags (monospaced font) {{example}} {{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc. italic Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics {{example|param}} {{tlxi}} kbd Display output using HTML ‎<kbd>...‎</kbd> tags (monospaced font) {{example}} nolink Don't render the template name as a link {{example}} {{tlf}}, {{tnull}} nowrap Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output {{example}} nowrapname Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed) {{example}} plaincode Uses ‎<code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...‎</code> {{example}} {{tltss}} subst Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name {{subst:example}} {{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc alttext=[text] Replace [text] with the actual label to be displayed for the template link {{Other}} {{tla}} _show_result Will also display the result of the template {{Min|7|-5}} → -5 _expand Will add a link to the expanded template page {{Min|7|-5}} [1] Unnamed (Positional) This template can take any number of unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below. Examples Code Output Remarks {{tls|Banner}} Template:Banner does not exist.
