Explanation

{{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:

  • code=yes (or for historical reasons tt=yes): Use the <code>...</code> HTML attribute (usually a monospaced font), like for {{tlc}} {{tlx}} and {{tlxb}}
  • bold=yes: Boldface the text, like for {{tlb}} and {{tlxb}}
  • italic=yes: Italicizes the parameters, like for {{tlxi}}
  • nolink=yes: Don't insert a template link, like for {{tlf}}, {{tld}}, and {{tlc}}
  • 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

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.
