Template:Tlm/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tlm.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Tlm

tlm stands for template link with magic. This template is an all-purpose double-brace linking template. The magic is implemented by Module:Tlm.

Usage

{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]name of template|...}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]namespace:pagename|...}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#invoke:module name|...}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#parser function:...[|...]}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:]VARIABLE NAME}}

{{tlm}} may be used for linking to templates, quasi-templates (pages transcluded from namespaces other than Template), modules (using the #invoke syntax), documentation of parser functions and variables (so-called "magic words"). subst: and other modifier prefixes and other are detected automatically and linked appropriately.

If this template is passed non-numeric named parameters, they will be displayed: {{tlm|unreferenced|date=November 2024}} renders as {{unreferenced|date=November 2024}}. No particular order of parameters is guaranteed, and it will not work for numeric parameters, even explicitly named ones: {{tlm|X0|2=2}} displays {{X0|2}}.
