{{Template:Template link expanded}}
{{tlg}} (abbreviating "[t]emplate [l]ink (with) [g]eneral (options)") is a generalised version of the {{tl}} ("template link") template. It can be used to replace or implement {{tl}} and related templates such as {{tlb}}, {{tlx}}, etc.
Parameters
- Named
With the exception of alttext, Template:Tnf's named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc). They may be included in any order (see Examples below):
| Parameter | Action | As in |
| braceinside | Include innermost braces as part of the template link | {{tlw}} (tn) |
| bold boldlink boldname | Renders the template link/name in bold | Template:Hlist |
| code | Display output using the (monospaced) HTML <code> formatting | Template:Hlist |
| plaincode | Display output using <code> without any CSS border or background styling | Template:Hlist |
| italic italics | Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italic/s | {{tlxi}} |
| nolink | Don't render the template name as a link | {{tnf}} |
| nowrap | Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output | |
| subst | Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name | {{tls}} |
|alttext=text | Use text as the label for the template link | {{tla}} |
- Unnamed
Template:Tnf may take up to ten unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.
Examples
- 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.
