{{tlp|...}}
Template documentationUsage
{{tlp}} (template link with parameters) is meant to be used in documentation and talk page discussions, to show how a template would be used in code. Like {{tl}} and {{tn}}, it displays the output in normal text.
Parameters
There are 12 optional parameters, all unnamed. If no parameters are specified, {{tlp}} will become a presentation of itself with the parameters replaced by an ellipsis (see the examples below).
The parameters of {{tlp}} can be formatted using wiki-code.
Synatx
The syntax for {{tlp}} is:
-
{{tlp|template name |param2 |param3 |param4 |…|param11 }}
Optional parameters
1 (unnamed)
- Template name
The 1st parameter is the name of the template you want to present.
- Usage
{{tlp|template name}}
2–12 (unnamed)
- Template parameters
The parameters 2 through 12 are used for the parameters of the displayed template.
- Notes
- The specified parameters cannot include any equals signs (=). That will break the template. If you need to do that, use the template {{=}}.
- If the maximum of 11 included parameters is exceeded, the template will only show the 11 first parameters, and exclude the surplus ones.
- Usage
{{tlp|1|param1|param2|param3|param4|param5|…|param11}}

| Parameters with {{=}} | templatename|par1{{=}}|par2|par3{{=}}}} | {{templatename|par1=|par2|par3=}} |
Incorrect use

|---|---|---|---|
| ≥ 13 entries | {{tlp|templatename|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14}} |
{{templatename|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12}} | Only the 12 first entries will be displayed (i.e. the template's name and the first 11 parameters) |
| Parameters with plain = | templatename|par1=|par2|par3=}} | {{templatename|par2}} | Parameters that include equals signs will be excluded from the output |
| Wiki-formatting of the template name | '''code'''|par1|par2}} | {{code|par1|par2}} | The output looks okay, but the wiki-markup is included in the template link name (i.e. in this case as "Template:'''code'''"), rendering a red-link
