__NOTOC__
==Documentation==

{{Tlx|Tl}} and {{Tl|Tl2}} are simple [[w:macro|macro]] [[m:Help:template|templates]] used to display a template name as a link. '''Tl''' stands for '''T'''emplate '''l'''ink.

:Tl2 differs in that it displays an arguably clearer result like {{[[Template:Tlx|Tlx]]}}, and also like 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''.

;related: {{Tl2|Tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.

== Usage ==

<pre>

{{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.
</pre>

== Example ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Code
! Result
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Tl|x0}}</nowiki></code>
| {{[[Template:X0|x0]]}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Tl2|x1}}</nowiki></code>
| <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[{{{LANG|}}}{{{SISTER|}}}{{ns:Template}}:x1|x1]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}}</nowiki></code>
| <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[{{{LANG|}}}M:{{ns:Template}}:3x|3x]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}}</nowiki></code>
| <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vorlage:WP WP]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
|}
