Usage: {{tl|template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}

Result: {{template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}

Purpose and naming

The Template link takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template could be coded, literally. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.

Specifics: Up to five pass parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and over 5 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "&#124;..."). A keyword parameter can be used, when tagged as a nowiki-keyword: "<nowiki>siz=10</nowiki>" with each keyword parameter surrounded by "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom.

Usage

{{Tl|template name}}
{{Tl|template name|param}}
{{Tl|template name|1|2|3}}
{{Tl|template name|1|2|3&#124;more}}
{{Tl|template name|param&#61;value}}

Up to three placeholders for parameters of the specified template
