Template:Tl/doc

{{tl}} is used to reference templates on Talk pages etc. Use of it generates a link to the template, wrapped in {{ }} tags and thus looking like an invocation of the template. For a version without brackets, see {{tln}}. For a version which uses code tags, see {{tlc}}.

Usage

The template takes two parameters : {{tl|name|arguments}}.

1. required — The name of the template to be linked to.
2. optional — Any parameters which should be shown in the example call to the template. Separate multiple parameters with {{!}} rather than |.
