Explanation

[edit]

{{tlg}} (template link, general) is a general template for inserting a template link. It can be used to replace or implement any of the more specific {{tl*}} templates, e.g. {{tl}}, {{tlx}} or {{tlb}}. Parameters are:

  • bold=yes: Boldface the text, like for {{tlb}} and {{tlxb}}
  • italic=yes: Italicizes the parameters, like for {{tlxi}}
  • tt=yes: Use a monospaced font, like for {{tlx}} and {{tlxb}}
  • code=yes: Use the <code>...</code> HTML attribute (usually a monospaced font), like for {{tlc}}
  • nolink=yes: Don't insert a template link, like for {{tlf}}, {{tld}}, and {{tlc}}
  • anypage=yes: Allow linking to arbitrary page (not just template), as with {{tlu}}
  • braceinside=yes: Put braces inside the link, like for {{tn}}
  • subst=yes: Add a subst: prefix, like for {{tls}}
  • alttext=FOO: Specify alternative surface text for a link, like for {{tla}}

Examples

[edit]
Note
On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2,..., X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.

{{Tlg|x0|alttext=Link to x0 template}} Template:Tlg  
{{Tlg|x0|anypage=yes}} Template:Tlg Now the expression links to x0 (the spaceship, genetic disease, etc.) rather than Template:x0. Mostly useful for templates in user space.
{{Tlg|x0|bold=yes|tt=yes|braceinside=yes}} Template:Tlg No reason you can't combine multiple parameter settings.
{{Tlg|x1|one}} Template:Tlg  
{{Tlg|x2|one|two}} Template:Tlg  
{{Tlg|x2|bold=yes|tt=yes|one|...}} Template:Tlg Can combine named and anonymous parameters ...
{{Tlg|x2|one|two|bold=yes|...}} Template:Tlg ... in any order …
{{Tlg|x2|one|tt=yes|two|...}} Template:Tlg ... even intermixed ...
