Template:Tlx

Summary

This template is used to display a template name as a monospaced link surrounded by braces, along with any required parameters, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.

This template was originally copied from Wikipedia. Unlike the Wikipedia version, this version can take an unlimited number of parameters.

Parameters

Tlx

Parameter	Scope	Description
1	required	The name of the template to link to.
sepbefore	optional	Separator to display before each vertical pipe character.
sepafter	optional	Separator to display after each vertical pipe character.
display	optional	Display name for the template, to preserve the text of older talk page posts.
mw	optional	Set to any value to indicate that the first parameter is a magic word rather than a template. The magic word will then link to Wikipedia's Magic words help page when clicked.
(others)	optional	Additional parameter names. (Don't forget to escape equals signs with {{=}}, &#61; or <nowiki>=</nowiki>, or number any unnamed parameters that require them.)
