Teamplaid:Template link with parameters

{{[[Teamplaid:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is the template link with parameters (or {{Tlp}}) template.

It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a template name would be used in code.

Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

{{Tlp|Name|parameters}} = {{Name|parameters}}

Features of {{Tlp}}:

• It shows a template name with a link to that template.
• It shows up to eight parameters.
• It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
• It prevents line wraps in its output.
• It uses normal text style. ({{Tlx}}, for instance, uses <code>...</code> text style.)

This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. See the see also section below for some of them. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability – i.e. on the first occurrence of a template name, use {{Tl}}, {{Tlp}} or {{Tlx}} and thereafter use {{Tlf}}, {{Tlc}} or {{Tld}}.

Code	Output	Comments
{{Tlp}}	{{[[Teamplaid:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}	Shows its own syntax.
{{Tlp|Name}}	{{Name}}
{{Tlp|Name|first}}	{{Name|first}}
{{Tlp|Name|first|last}}	{{Name|first|last}}
{{Tlp|Name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j}}	{{Name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h}}	Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped.
{{Tlp|Name||three|four}}	{{Name||three|four}}	Also shows empty parameters.
{{Tlp|Name||three|}}	{{Name||three|}}	Even shows empty parameters that come at the end.
{{Tlp|Name|first=a|last=b}}	{{Name}}	Equal signs are a problem, but there are a couple ways to fix:
{{Tlp|Name|2=first=a|3=last=b}}	{{Name|first=a|last=b}}	Use numbered parameters to fix it. Here, parameter "|2=" is assigned the string "first=a". Start with #2, since "name" is already in the "|1=" slot. Note that all subsequent parameters after a numbered parameter must also be numbered.
{{Tlp|Name|first{{=}}a|last{{=}}b}}	{{Name|first=a|last=b}}	Or, simply use, "{{=}}", the equal-sign template, to "escape" the symbol.
{{Tlp|Name|2=1=a|3=2=b}}	{{Name|1=a|2=b}}	Both techniques also work with numbered positional parameters (e.g.: "|1=", "|2=").
{{Tlp|Name|2=1=a|last{{=}}b}}	{{Name|last=b}}	The named parameter ("|last=") clobbered the prior one ("|2="). Again, all subsequent parameters after a numbered parameter must also be numbered...
{{Tlp|Name|2=1=a|3=last=b}}	{{Name|1=a|last=b}}	... but that's easy to fix, by adding the position number ("|3=") to the last parameter.

1  {{Tlg}} is the most general, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options. 2  Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside <span class="Nowrap">...</span> tags. 3  Allows links to templates in any namespace. 4  {{Tlg|plaincode=yes}} uses <code style="border:none; background-color:transparent;">...</code>. 5  Displays monospaced font using <kbd>...</kbd> tags (changed from <tt>...</tt> for HTML 5 compliance). 6  Displays monospaced font using <span style="font-family:monospace;">...</span>.
