− | |||
− | : | + | ==Purpose and naming== |
+ | [[Wikt:mnemonic|Mnemonically]] ''''T'''emplate '''l'''ink e'''x'''panded'... after <tt>{{tlx|tl}}</tt> '''T'''emplate '''l'''ink' | ||
− | + | * This template takes another ''template-name'' and some associated [[pipe-trick]]ed [[m:Parameter#Parameters|(numbered) parameters]] (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the ''template-name'' template could be coded, literally. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. | |
− | + | * '''''Specifics:''''' Up to five pass parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and over 5 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "<small>&#124;</small>''...''"). A keyword parameter can be used, when tagged as a nowiki-keyword: <nowiki>"<nowiki>size=10<\nowiki>"</nowiki> with each keyword parameter surrounded by <nowiki>"<nowiki>"</nowiki> tags; see ''[[#Examples|Examples]]'' at bottom. For more details, see the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|this talk]] page. | |
+ | * '''''Exceptions:''''' If the intended template lists numerous/keyword parameters, then perhaps this template should really ''not'' be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki><code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, for example: <code><nowiki><code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|</nowiki><var>other parameters...</var><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code></nowiki></code>. If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <code><nowiki><pre>...</pre></nowiki></code>. | ||
− | + | ---- | |
− | |||
− | + | * If given no additional parameters except ''<code> 'template name' (<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>), </code>'' it presents the same as the similar {{tl|Tl}} [[macro]] template -- a blue link nested in [[brackets|curly-braces]]-- the same as a user would apply the template without parameters, but with a noticably clearer font and spacing on most modern browsers. | |
− | + | :* {{Tlx|Tl|Tl}} display compared to {{Tlx|Tlx|Tl}}: (Tl: {{Tl|Tl}} versus Tlx: {{Tlx|Tl}}) | |
− | + | * Comparatively, {{Tlx|Tl}} will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may be preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions. | |
− | + | * {{tlx|Tlx}} has a named parameter ''subst''. Setting this parameter to any string of length 1 or greater will place the string "subst:" before the template name, linked to [[Help:Substitution]]. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example {{tlx|Tlx|Welcome|<nowiki>subst=Y</nowiki>}} will display {{Tlx|Welcome|subst=Y}}. | |
− | + | * Additionally, Tlx will take a 'named' parameter 'SISTER' to link interwiki to other sister projects such as one of these examples: '|SISTER=W:', 'Tlx|SISTER=M:', 'Tlx|SISTER=Q:', 'Tlx|SISTER=S:', allowing documentation or discourse about a template across interwiki boundaries. Small 'front end' Shell or convience templates {{Tlx|Tlxw}} and {{tlx|Tlxm}} are typing-aid templates available at Meta for automatic substitution in discussions about templates on Wikipedia or Meta. | |

− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | ; | + | ;This usage also applies to interwiki capable template variations: |
− | + | # {{Tl|Tlxc}} -- which links to templates on Wikimedia Commons (The Commons). | |
− | + | # {{Tl|Tlxm}} -- which links to templates on Meta | |
− | {{ | + | # {{Tl|Tlxw}} -- which links to templates on Wikipedia |

− | + | is a generalization of {{Tlxw|Tl|x}}, {{Tlxw|Tlp|x|y}}, | |
− | : | + | etcetera with arguably better readable |
− | + | output. This depends on the browser, but too narrow | |
− | + | uses of "'''{'''", "'''|'''", "'''}'''" in conjunction | |
