The template link template is a simple macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. A short example is that the code:
-
{{tl|example}}
- generates
-
- {{example}}
More complex variations are described below.

{{tl2}} differs in that it displays an arguably clearer result like {{tlx}}, and also takes the named parameters 'SISTER=xx' and 'LANG=ll', so that it may also be used to list and link to templates on other English and non-English language sister projects.
{{tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.
Usage
{{Tl|template name to display}}
and
{{Tl2|template name to display}} -- local link, just like Tl.
or
{{Tl2|SISTER=V:|template name to display}} -- displays a template on Wikiversity
or
{{Tl2|LANG=fr.|SISTER=wikisource|template name to display}} -- displays a template
on the French Wikisource sister project.
Example
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
{{Tl|x0}} |
{{x0}} |
{{Tl2|x1}} |
{{x1}} |
{{Tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}} |
{{3x}} |
{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}} |
{{WP}} |
