Padron:Tl2

Template Tl2 is just like Tl,

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

This is the {{tl}} template.

First a short example. This code: {{tl|example}} renders like this: {{example}}

Tl stands for Template link. {{tl}} 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.

Related templates

{{tl2}} differs in that it displays an arguably clearer result like {{tlx}}, and also 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.

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

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.

Example

Code	Result
{{Tl|x0}}	{{x0}}
{{Tl2|x1}}	{{x1}}
{{Tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}}	{{3x}}
{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}}	{{WP}}
