Templat:Tlxb

Explanation

This template is a copy of {{tlb}} except that it uses a non-proportional, monospaced font instead of normal text:

Code	Result	Remark
`{{tlxb\|Template name}}`	`{{Template name}}`
`{{tlxb\|Template name\|parameter1\|parameter2}}`	`{{Template name\|parameter1\|parameter2}}`
`{{tlxb\|Template name\|parm1\|parm2{{=}}foo}}`	`{{Template name\|parm1\|parm2=foo}}`	Equal signs need to be escaped using `{{=}}`.
`{{tlxb}}`	`{{[[Templat:Tlxb\|]]}}`	This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked.
`{{tlxb\|SISTER=m:\|3x}}`	`{{3x}}`	Link to page on another wiki.

I.e., it's a {{tl}}-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. Its main use is in distinguishing between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.

The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use {{tlu}} instead).

Purpose and naming: Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... after {{tl}} Template list'

This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template could be coded, literally. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.

Specifics: Up to five pass parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and over 5 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "|..."). A keyword parameter can be used, when tagged as a nowiki-keyword: "<nowiki>siz=10<\nowiki>" with each keyword parameter surrounded by "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see the this talk page.

Exceptions: If the intended template lists numerous/keyword parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage in double-braces, putting only nowiki-braces "{{" to start, such as: "<nowiki>{{<\nowiki>Anytemplate |arg1=23 |siz=250px}}".

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.

{{Tl|Tl}} display compared to {{Tlx|Tl}}: (Tl: {{Tlx}} versus Tlx: {{Tl}})

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.

This usage also applies to interwiki capable template variations

{{Tlxc}} -- which links to templates on Wikimedia Commons (The Commons).
{{Tlxm}} -- which links to templates on Meta
{{Tlxw}} -- which links to templates on Wikipedia

Documentation

{{Tlxb}} is a generalization of {{Tl|x}}, {{Tlp|x|y}}, 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

{{Tlxb|template name}}

{{Tlxb|template name|param}}

{{Tlxb|template name|1|2|3}}

{{Tlxb|template name|1|2|3|more}}

{{Tlxb|template name|param=value}}

Up to three placeholders for parameters of the specified template
