Template:Template link null
(Redirected from Template:Tlnull)
Explanation[edit source]
{{tlg}} (template link, general) is a general template for inserting a template link. It can be used to replace or implement any of the more specific {{tl*}} templates, e.g. {{tl}}, {{tlx}} or {{tlb}}. Parameters are:
bold=yes: Boldface the text, like for {{tlb}} and {{tlxb}}italic=yes: Italicizes the parameters, like for {{tlxi}}tt=yes: Use a monospaced font, like for {{tlx}} and {{tlxb}}code=yes: Use the<code>...</code>HTML attribute (usually a monospaced font), like for {{tlc}}nolink=yes: Don't insert a template link, like for {{tlf}}, {{tld}}, and {{tlc}}anypage=yes: Allow linking to arbitrary page (not just template), as with {{tlu}}braceinside=yes: Put braces inside the link, like for {{tn}}subst=yes: Add asubst:prefix, like for {{tls}}alttext=FOO: Specify alternative surface text for a link, like for {{tla}}
Examples[edit source]
- Note
- On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2,..., X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.

| {{Tlg|ABC}} | {{ABC}} | |
| {{Tlg|AbC}} | {{AbC}} | |
| {{Tlg|x0}} | {{x0}} | |
| {{Tlg|x0|bold=yes}} | {{x0}} | |
| {{Tlg|x1|one|italic=yes}} | {{x1|one}} | |
| {{Tlg|x0|code=yes}} | {{x0}}

| {{Tlg|x0|subst=yes}} | {{subst:x0}} | |
| {{Tlg|x0|braceinside=yes}} | {{x0}} | |
| {{Tlg|x0|alttext=Link to x0 template}} | {{Link to x0 template}} | |
| {{Tlg|x0|anypage=yes}} | {{x0}} | Now the expression links to x0 (the spaceship, genetic disease, etc.) rather than Template:x0. Mostly useful for templates in user space. |
| {{Tlg|x0|bold=yes|tt=yes|braceinside=yes}} | {{x0}}

No reason you can't combine multiple parameter settings. |
| {{Tlg|x1|one}} | {{x1|one}} | |
| {{Tlg|x2|one|two}} | {{x2|one|two}} | |
| {{Tlg|x2|bold=yes|tt=yes|one|two}} | {{x2|one|two}}
|
Can combine named and anonymous parameters ... |
| {{Tlg|x2|one|two|bold=yes|tt=yes}} | {{x2|one|two}}
|
... in any order … |
| {{Tlg|x2|one|tt=yes|two|bold=yes|three}} | {{x2|one|two|three}}
|
... even intermixed ... |
| {{Tlg|x2|one|tt=yes|two|bold=yes|three|italic=yes}} | {{x2|one|two|three}}
|
... with many different configurations. |
| {{Tlg|x3|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}} | {{x3|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}} | |
| {{Tlg|x4|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11}} | {{x4|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|…}} | up to 10 parameters, then ... |
| {{Tlg|x5|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11}} | {{x5|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11}} | | for more |
| {{Tlg|convert|<nowiki>14|m|ftin|abbr=out|sp=us</nowiki>}} | unlimited parameters as one nowiki string | |
| {{Tlg}} | {{Template:Template link null}} | with no arguments, the current page name is substituted |
| {{Tlg|x1|x=u}} | {{x1}} | = won't work |
| {{Tlg|x1|x=u}} | {{x1|x=u}} | = is okay |
| {{Tlg|x1|x{{=}}u}} | {{x1|x=u}} | {{=}} is okay |
| {{Tlg|x1|<nowiki>x=u</nowiki>}} | {{x1|x=u}} | sticky nowiki is okay |
| {{Tlg|x2| |two}} | {{x2||two}} | empty won't work |
| {{Tlg|x2| |two}} | {{x2| |two}} |   is okay |
| {{Tlg|x2| |two}} | {{x2| |two}} | is okay |
| {{Tlg|x2| | two}} | {{x2|| two}} | | is okay |
| {{Tlg|x2| {{!}} two}} | {{x2|| two}} | {{!}} is dubious |
| {{Tlg|x2|2=|3=two}} | {{x2||two}} | empty really doesn't work |
| {{Tlg|x2|2=one|two}} | {{x2|two}} | two clobbers 2=one |
| {{Tlg|x2|3=two|2=one}} | {{x2|one|two}} | right to left okay |
