Frae Wikipedia, the free beuk o knawledge



{{tlx|template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}{{template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}

Purpose an naming: Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... efter {{tl}} Template list'

  • This template takes anither template-name an some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), an aggregates them intae an 'example demonstration' o how the template-name template might be uised. It's primary uise is in instruction an documentation such as this passage.
  • Up tae five pass parameters (numbered) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', an mair parameters are shawn as "|...", for details see the this talk page.

  • If gien no additional parameters except  'template name' ({{{1}}}),  it presents the same as the seemilar {{Tl}} macro template -- a blue link nested in curly-braces-- the same as a uiser would apply the template wioot parameters, but wi a noticably clearer font an spacing on maist modren browsers.
  • {{Tl|Tl}} display compared to {{Tlx|Tl}}: (Tl: {{Tlx}} versus Tlx: {{Tl}})
  • Comparatively, {{Tl}} will nae tak or display additional parameters, an for minor technical reasons, mey preferred for mere listing an referencing in lang pages involvin a lot o template expansions1.
  • Additionally, Tlx will tak a 'named' parameter 'SISTER' tae link interwiki tae ither sister projects such as ane o these examples: '|SISTER=W:', 'Tlx|SISTER=M:', 'Tlx|SISTER=Q:', 'Tlx|SISTER=S:', allouin documentation or discourse aboot a template across interwiki boundaries. Small 'front end' Shell or convience templates {{Tlxw}} an {{Tlxm}} are typing-aid templates available at Meta for automatic substitution in discussions aboot templates on Wikipedia or Meta.

This usage an aa applies tae interwiki capable template variations
  1. {{Tlxc}} -- which links tae templates on Wikimedia Commons (The Commons).
  2. {{Tlxm}} -- which links tae templates on Meta
  3. {{Tlxw}} -- which links tae templates on Wikipedia

Documentation[eedit soorce]

{{Tlx/doc}} is a generalization o {{Tl|x}}, {{Tlp|x|y}}, etcetera wi arguably better readable output. This depends on the browser, but too narrow uses o "{", "|", "}" in conjunction wi links can be haurd tae read.
