{{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}

Meaning

tltt stands for "template link with tooltip". "tt" also can stand for the <tt> tag that surrounds it.

Usage

Like {{tl}} (see documentation), with an additional parameter for the tooltip. This will be displayed when user hovers over the curly braces. (Try it right here: {{tltt}}!)

The template is meant to be used in pages such as {{TestTemplates}}, where it is desirable to provide a bit more explanation for a template than what its name reveals.

Differently from {{tl}}, the font is set in monospace, so that all text appears in non-proportional font.

The template also permits up to two named parameters, like so:

{{tltt|Template name|Tooltip text|par=First parameter=1|par2=Second parameter=2}}

Produces:

Known problems

On some systems, the text only displays when user hovers over the curly braces, not over the link itself.
It is not possible to include double quotes in the text. Use single quotes instead.

-* <nowiki>{{tltt|unblock|Request to be unblocked|par=Reason for unblock}}</nowiki>
-If you want to include more than one parameter, separate them with "&#124;" (without the quotes), which will render as a pipe symbol. Example:
-* <nowiki>{{tltt|some template|description of this template|par=par1&#124;par2}}</nowiki> will render as:<br> {{tltt|some template|description of this template|par=par1&#124;par2}}
