 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tlc. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{tlc}} template.
First a short example:
{{tlc|template name|parameters}}
Renders like this:
{{template name|parameters}}
This page is also the documentation for some other templates that work almost exactly the same:
{{tld}}– Looks like this:{{name|parameter}}- {{tlf}} – Looks like this: {{name|parameter}}
These templates help writing documentation which mentions {{templates}}, or even {{templates|that|has|parameters}}. They work similarly to {{tl}} and {{tlx}}, but they don't make the template name into a link.
When writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. So on the first occurrence of a template name use {{tl}} or {{tlx}}, and then use {{tlc}}, {{tld}} or {{tlf}}.
Features of {{tlc}}, {{tld}} and {{tlf}}:
- They show a template name and up to eight parameters.
- They also show empty parameters. (See examples below.)
- They prevent line wraps in their output.
Examples
Wikitables make the <code> tags transparent, that's why the "code colouring" is missing in these examples.
| Code | Result | Comment |
|---|---|---|

{{tlc|name|three|four}} | {{name|three|four}} | Also shows empty parameters. |
{{tlc|name|three}} | {{name|three}} | Even shows empty parameters that come in the end. |
