Template:Tlx
SummaryEdit
This template is used to display a template name as a monospaced link surrounded by braces, along with any required parameters, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.
This template was originally copied from Wikipedia. Unlike the Wikipedia version, this version can take an unlimited number of parameters.
ParametersEdit
| Parameter | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | required | The name of the template to link to. |
| sepbefore | optional | Separator to display before each vertical pipe character. |
| sepafter | optional | Separator to display after each vertical pipe character. |
| display | optional | Display name for the template, to preserve the text of older talk page posts. |
| mw | optional | Set to any value to indicate that the first parameter is a magic word rather than a template. The magic word will then link to Wikipedia's Magic words help page when clicked. |
| (others) | optional | Additional parameter names. (Don't forget to escape equals signs with {{=}}, = or <nowiki>=</nowiki>, or number any unnamed parameters that require them.) |
