Template:Tl2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template Tl2 is just like Tl,

in that it is very simple, and so it can be subst'd cleanly (unlike Tlx)
but also displays a single template name like Tlx, and also like Tlx
will take a named parameter allowing it to access pages
on other wiki's. (Sister projects)

[edit] Documentation

{{Tl}} and {{Tl2}} are simple macro templates used to display a template name as a link. Tl stands for Template link.

Tl2 differs in that it displays an arguably clearer result like {{Tlx}}, and also like takes the named parameters 'SISTER=xx' and 'LANG=ll', so that it may also be used to list and link to templates on other English and non-English language sister projects.

related: {{Tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.

[edit] Usage


 {{Tl|template name to display}}
and
 {{Tl2|template name to display}} -- local link, just like Tl.
 or
 {{Tl2|SISTER=V:|template name to display}} -- displays a template on Wikiversity
 or
 {{Tl2|LANG=fr.|SISTER=wikisource|template name to display}} -- displays a template 
                       on the French Wikisource sister project.

[edit] Example

Code	Result
`{{Tl\|x0}}`	{{x0}}
