قالب:Tlb
{{Tlb}}
Usage
This template is a {{tl}}
-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's the same as {{tlx}}
except that it boldfaces the name of the template and uses Wikipedia's default font instead of a non-proptional, monospaced font, as used by the variant {{tlxb}}
(which is more commonly used because it has that <code>
-style monospaced look). Its main use is in highlighting to distinguish between multiple templates with similar names, on projectpages, in talk page discussions, and for nesting an example of a template-link call inside another template-link call that has already applied the <code>...</code>
markup.
Examples
Code | Result | Remark |
---|---|---|
{{tlb|Template name}}
|
{{Template name}} | |
{{tlb|Template name|parm1|parm2}}
|
{{Template name|parm1|parm2}} | |
{{tlb|Template name|parm1|parm2{{=}}foo}}
|
{{Template name|parm1|parm2=foo}} | Equal signs need to be escaped using {{=}} .
|
{{tlb}}
|
{{Tlb}} | This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked. |
The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way.
Note: This documentation for {{tlx}}
is also transcluded by its derivatives {{tlxb}}
, {{tlxc}}
, {{tlxw}}
, {{tlxU}}
(edit · master page).
Basic use
(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)
{{tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|…|tenth}}
produces:{{Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|…|tenth}}
Where parameters might contain one or more equals-signs ("="), replace each equals-sign with {{=}}
:
{{tlx|Template|first{{=}}something|second|third{{=}}something|...|tenth}}
produces:{{Template|first=something|second|third=something|...|tenth}}
For more than ten parameters, possibly also containing equals-signs, use <nowiki>...</nowiki>
thus:
{{tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=something''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}}
produces:{{Template|first|second|third=something|...|999th}}
Purpose and naming
Mnemonically, "[[[:قالب:Padlr]]]emplate [[[:قالب:Padlr]]]ink e[x]panded" (after قالب:Tlpad, "[[[:قالب:Padlr]]]emplate [[[:قالب:Padlr]]]ink").
This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.
Up to ten of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 10 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "|…"). A keyword parameter can be used with equals code = or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>
" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>
" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page.
- Exceptions
If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code>
<nowiki>
. For example:
<code>
.<nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki>
</code>
If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>
.
Parameters
- If the only parameter supplied is
{{{1}}}
, i.e. a template's name, قالب:Tpad's output is the same as قالب:Tlpad<aside>i.e. a link within braces</aside> but in a monospaced font:
- قالب:Tpad will also not take nor display additional parameters.
- Named parameters
|subst=
- Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string
subst:
linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example,{{tlx|Welcome|subst=Y}}
produces:{{subst:Welcome}}
. This is similar to the action of the{{tlxs}}
template:{{tlxs|Welcome}}
produces:{{subst:welcome}}
.
|SISTER=
- For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as:
|SISTER=M:
(Meta),|SISTER=Q:
(WikiQuote),|SISTER=S:
(WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.
|LANG=
- For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as:
|LANG=de:
(German),|LANG=sv:
(Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.
Documentation
قالب:Tlpad is a generalization of {{tl}}, {{tlp}} etc, with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as " { ", " | ", " } " and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}
, see قالب:Tlpad, which makes the click target bigger).
Usage
{{tlx|Templatename}}
{{tlx|Templatename|param}}
{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}
{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}
{{tlx|Templatename|param=value}}
There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.
Examples
- Note
- At the en.wikipedia and Meta sites, X0, X1, X2, ... X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other sister projects.
