__NOTOC__

The '''template link''' template is a simple [[w:Macro (computer science)|macro]] [[m:Help:template|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:

::<code><nowiki>{{Tl|Example}}</nowiki></code>
:generates
::{{Tl|Example}}

<templatedata>{
"description": "This template displays 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.",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "template name",
"description": "the template name without the namespace prefix “Template:”, which is added automatically",
"type": "string",
"required": true
}
}}</templatedata>

More complex variations are described below.

==Example==
{| class="wikitable"
! Code
! Result
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Tl|Void}}</nowiki></code>
| {{[[Template:Void|Void]]}}
|-
| <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><!--
––––– This is currently a fraudulent output result... the template code needs modified to work
––––– per this plan, then this /doc file fixed up to match whatever the correct syntax actually is.
––––– ALMOST work:
[[:de:wikibooks:{{ns:template}}:WP|WP]]
[[de:wikibooks:{{ns:template}}:WP|WP]]

|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Tl|1==)}}</nowiki></code>
| {{Tl|1==)}}
