Template:Template link general

Explanation

This template is a general template for inserting a template link. It can be used to replace or implement any of the more specific {{tl*}} templates. Parameters are:

• Template:Code: Boldface the text, like for Template:Tlx and Template:Tlx
• Template:Code: Use a monospaced font, like for Template:Tlx and Template:Tlx
• Template:Code: Don't insert a template link, like for Template:Tlx, Template:Tlx, and Template:Tlx
• Template:Code: Allow linking to arbitrary page (not just template), as with Template:Tlx
• Template:Code: Put braces inside the link, like for Template:Tlx
• Template:Code: Add a Template:Code prefix, like for Template:Tlx
• Template:Code: Specify alternative surface text for a link, like for Template:Tlx

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

I.e., it's a {{tl}}-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's 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).
