Template:Interwikitmp-grp
- This usage also applies to interwiki capable template variations
- 'Tlxm' and 'Tlxw'
{{tlx|template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}
→ (becomes) → {{template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}
- Purpose
- Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... after
{{tl}}
'Template list' Template:I2This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and aggregates them into an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template might be used. It's primary use is in instruction and documentation such as this passage.
- Up to five pass parameters (numbered) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and more parameters are shown as "|...", for details see the this talk page.
- If given no additional parameters except
'template name' ({{{1}}}),
it presents the same as the similar {{Tl}} macro template -- a blue link nested in curly-braces-- the same as a user would apply the template without parameters, but with a noticably clearer font and spacing on most modern browsers.
- Comparatively,
{{Tl}}
will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions1.
- Additionally, Tlx will take a 'named' parameter 'SISTER' to link interwiki to other sister projects such as one of these examples: '|SISTER=W:', 'Tlx|SISTER=M:', 'Tlx|SISTER=Q:', 'Tlx|SISTER=S:', allowing documentation or discourse about a template across interwiki boundaries. Small 'front end' Shell or convience templates
{{Tlxw}}
and{{Tlxm}}
are typing-aid templates available at Meta for automatic substitution in discussions about templates on Wikipedia or Meta.
Documentation
{{Template link expanded/doc}} is a generalization of Template:Tlxw, Template:Tlxw, etcetera with arguably better readable output. This depends on the browser, but too narrow uses of "{", "|", "}" in conjunction with links can be hard to read.
Usage
- {{Template link expanded/doc|template name}}
- {{Template link expanded/doc|template name|param}}
- {{Template link expanded/doc|template name|1|2|3}}
- {{Template link expanded/doc|template name|1|2|3|more}}
- {{Template link expanded/doc|template name|param=value}}
Up to three placeholders for parameters of the specified template
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.
