Up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template

This template is nearly identical to Template:Tlx, except that it is intended for all namespace transclusions, and you can include parameters—as long as you use {{=}} signs or = in place of equal signs. For example, you can enter a subpage in your user space ({{User:Example/Talk message|param1=y|param2|etc.}}) or in a WikiProject ({{OODA WIKI:WikiProject Songs/Unreferenced BLPs|param1=y|param2|etc.}}).

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. (Non-existent template is redlinked.) {{tls|Abc}} Template:Abc exists. {{tls|abC}} Template names are case-sensitive {{tls|abc}} (but the first letter is case-insensitive). {{tls|x0}} no parameters {{tls|x1|one}} one parameter {{tls|x2|one|two}} two parameters {{tls|x3|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}} ten parameters {{tlg|convert|<nowiki>14|m|ftin|abbr=out|sp=us</nowiki>}} Unlimited parameters, as one ‎<nowiki>...‎</nowiki> string. {{tls|x2||two||}} Empty parameters are discarded. {{tls|x0|code=on}} <code> style {{tls|x0|plaincode=on}} plaincode style {{tls|x0|kbd=on}} <kbd> style {{tls|x0|bold=on}} bold link/name {{tls|x1|one|italic=on}} parameter(s) in italics {{tls|x0|nolink=on}} {{tls|x0|subst=on}} {{tls|x0|brace=on}} all braces in link {{tls|x0|braceinside=on}} inside braces in link {{tls|x0|alttext=x0 link}} {{tls|x0|bold=on|code=on|brace=on}} Combine multiple parameter settings. {{tlg|x1|{{spaces}}one{{spaces}}}} Using {{spaces}} before and after a parameter. {{tls|x2|bold=on|code=on|one|two}} Can combine named and anonymous parameters ... {{tls|x2|one|two|bold=on|code=on}} ... in any order ... {{tls|x2|one|code=on|two|bold=on|three}} ... even intermixed ... {{tls|x2|one|code=on|two|bold=on|three|italic=on}} ... with many configurations. {{tlg|x1|x=u}} = won't work {{tlg|x1|x&#61;u}} &#61; is okay {{tlg|x1|x{{=}}u}} {{=}} is okay (see Template:=) {{tlg|x1|x<nowiki>=</nowiki>u}} Sticky nowiki is okay. {{tls|x2|3=two|2=one}} Right-to-left is okay {{tls}} tls With no arguments, it emits the current page name without braces. {{tls|x2|3=one|4=two}} Null parameter stops parsing.
