Template:Tlxi
Use this template instead of {tlx} if you want the template parameters to be italicized.
Usage
{Tlxi|Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}
→{Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}
{Tlxi|Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}
→{Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}
if they might contain "=" signs.{Tlxi|Template|<nowiki>first|second|...|999th</nowiki>}
→{Template|first|second|...|999th}
(for more than 10 parameters)
If Template is given more than nine parameters, the remaining parameters have to be baked into the ninth parameter:
{Tlxi|Template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eighth|<nowiki>ninth|tenth|eleventh|twelfth|thirteenth|...</nowiki>}
- →
{Template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eighth|ninth|tenth|eleventh|twelfth|thirteenth|...}
Note: This documentation for {tlx}
is also transcluded by its derivatives {tlxb}
, {tlxc}

Basic use
(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)
{tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|...|tenth}
produces:{Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|...|tenth}
Where parameters might contain one or more equals-signs ("="), replace each equals-sign with {=}:
{tlx|Template|first{=}something|second|third{=}something|...|tenth}
produces:{Template|first=something|second|third=something|...|tenth}
For more than ten parameters, possibly also containing equals-signs, use <nowiki>...</nowiki>
thus:
{tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=something''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}
produces:{Template|first|second|third=something|...|999th}
Purpose and naming
Mnemonically, "[t]emplate [l]ink e[x]panded" (after {tl}, "[t]emplate [l]ink").
This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.
Up to ten of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 10 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "|..."). A keyword parameter can be used with equals code = or {=} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>
" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>
" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page.
- Exceptions
If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code>
<nowiki>
. For example:
<code>
.<nowiki>{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}</nowiki>
</code>
If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>
.
Parameters
- If the only parameter supplied is {1}, i.e. a template's name, {tlx}'s output is the same as {tl} – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
- {tl} will also not take nor display additional parameters.
- Named parameters
|subst=
- Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string
subst:
linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example,{tlx|Welcome|subst=Y}
produces:{subst:Welcome}
. This is similar to the action of the{tlxs}
template:{tlxs|Welcome}
produces:{subst:Welcome}
.
|SISTER=
- For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as:
|SISTER=M:
(Meta),|SISTER=Q:
(WikiQuote),|SISTER=S:
(WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.
|LANG=
- For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as:
|LANG=de:
(German),|LANG=sv:
(Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.
Documentation
{Tlx} is a generalization of {tl|x}, {tlp|x} etc., with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as " { ", " | ", " } " and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {!}
, see {tlw}, which makes the click target bigger).
Usage
{tlx|Templatename}
{tlx|Templatename|param}
{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}
{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}
{tlx|Templatename|param=value}
There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.
