The template link template is a simple 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. A short example is:

{{tl|Example}}
which generates
{{Example}}

<templatedata>{ "description": "This template displays 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.", "params": { 

 "1": {
   "label": "template name",
   "description": "the template name without the namespace prefix “Template:”, which is added automatically",
   "type": "line",
   "required": true
 }

}}</templatedata>

More complex variations are described below.

Example

Code Result Notes
{{tl|Void}} {{Void}} Standard usage
{{tls|Void}} {{subst:Example}} For templates that should be substituted
{{tl2|X1}} {{X1}} This formats the link to show how it would look in code
{{tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}} {{3x}} Same as above, for templates on another Wikimedia project (such as meta)
{{tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}} {{WP}} For templates on another language project
{{tl|1==)}} {{=)}} Use the format {{tl|1=templatename}} if the template contains template coding characters such as {{=)}} or {{!}}

General-purpose formatting

Comparison of template-linking templates according to their style
Link style → Linked Unlinked Linked with subst Linked including braces Linked with alternative text
Text style ↓ ↓ {{tlg}} options1 → N/A nolink=yes subst=yes braceinside=yes alttext=Foo
2=Foo
Normal N/A {{tlg}}1, 2
{{tl}}
{{tlp}}2
{{tlu}}4 		{{tlf}}2 {{tls}}
{{tlsp}} 		{{tn}} {{tla}}
Code code=yes or
tt=yes 		{{tlx}}
{{tltt}}
{{tltt2}} 		{{tlc}}2
{{tld}}2
{{tnull}} 		{{tlxs}}
{{tltts}}
{{tltts3}}
{{tltss}}3 		N/A
Bold bold=yes {{tlb}} N/A
Bold code bold=yes|code=yes {{tlxb}}
Italic code italic=yes|code=yes {{tlxi}}
  • 1 {{tlg}} is the most general, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options.
  • 2 Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside <span class="nowrap">...</span> tags.
  • 3 Uses monospace font but not <code>...</code>.
  • 4 Allows links to templates in any namespace.

Other formatting templates

Code example Effect Notes
{{tl2|Hatnote|lang=fr}} {{hatnote}} Supports linking to sister projects (e.g., fr:Hatnote)
{{tlu|User:Ahunt/SSHFS}} {{User:Ahunt/SSHFS}} Supports linking to any namespace
{{xpd|Hatnote|Some hatnote text}} "{{hatnote|[[:Template:Xpd/code]]Template:Void}}" gives "{{#invoke:Hatnote|hatnote}}" [1] Shows code, example and a link to expand the template code
{{para|title|<var>book title</var>}} |title=book title Formats template parameters for display, with or without values

With utility links
