For the Tagalog language template, see {{Tgl}}

The {{T}} template creates a formatted link to a Template.
The Tl template creates a formatted link to a template with a monospace font and surrounds it with 2 brace pairs which are excluded from the link label.

Usage

{{Tl |1= }}

Template parameters

Parameter	Description		Default	Status
1	template name (any namespace is ignored)		Tl	optional
2	display name (displayed as-it-is)		parameter 1	optional
3 lang	interwiki language code (ISO 639), if the template is in another Wikipedia can also be specified with lang=		empty	optional
4	+/- to precede the template name with the namespace Template: + (plus sign) to make Template: a part of the link, - (minus sign) to precede Template: as plain text. The +/- parameter can as well be specified with parameter 2 or 3; (when both signs are specified, "+" has precedence).		empty	optional
incl i	i or incl is a one-digit formatting option: 0: none of the brackets are part of the link 1: the inner brackets are part of the link 2: both brackets are part of the link 3: like i=2, with monospace font 4: like i=0 but with the name in teletype style 5: like i=1 but with the name in teletype style 6: like i=2 but with the name in teletype style 8: without surrounding brackets 9: like i=8 but with the name in teletype style large (font-size:128%)		3	optional
code	any value, for a surrounding <code> tag  (like {{Tl2}}). With code=tt also the surrounding brackets are in teletype style.		empty	optional
link	returns plain text instead of a link when set to link=no		empty	optional
case	for formatting of the namespace prefix: case=l lowercase display "template" instead of "Template" case=i internationalized display, in general a link case=n internationalized display, without linking it		empty	optional
i18n	another language than {{int:lang}} for namespace translation (when case=i or case=n)		en	optional
parm	to display templates parameters  (like {{Tlx}}) Usage e.g. parm=template name or parm=1=template name or  parm=&#124;1=&#124;2=&#124;code=y" gives "|1=|2=|code=y". For a better appearing and easier to format explanatory, use the meta template {{Tle}}.		empty	optional
full	expanded display: Template:{{Example}}  (like {{Lts}}) request this expansion with either full=5 or 5=full.		empty	optional

Additional information

The template is intended to be used in the following namespaces: all namespaces

The template is intended to be used by the following user groups: all users

Localization

This template is not intended to be localized.

The template does not generate any localizable text;
with + or - always the namespace in English: "Template" is displayed;
only in combination with case=i or case=n the namespace can be translated using the {{LangSwitch}} construct (according to i18n).

Note: The templates T, T0, T1, T2, Tl, T9 use the same main template with the only difference of the default value for the parameter incl=.

Template	i	appearance
T	2	{{T}}
T0	8	T0
T1	1	{{T1}}
T2	0	{{T2}}
Tl	3	{{Tl}}
T9	9	T9

This means that each of them can be converted into each one of the others by just replacing that parameter:
T	{{Tl|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|3={{{3|{{{lang|}}}}}}|i={{{i|{{{incl|2}}}}}}|code={{{code|}}}}}	{{Tl}}	WWWWWWWWWWWW
T0	{{Tl|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|3={{{3|{{{lang|}}}}}}|i={{{i|{{{incl|8}}}}}}|code={{{code|}}}}}	Tl
T1	{{Tl|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|3={{{3|{{{lang|}}}}}}|i={{{i|{{{incl|1}}}}}}|code={{{code|}}}}}	{{Tl}}
T2	{{Tl|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|3={{{3|{{{lang|}}}}}}|i={{{i|{{{incl|0}}}}}}|code={{{code|}}}}}	{{Tl}}
Tl	{{Tl|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|3={{{3|{{{lang|}}}}}}|i={{{i|{{{incl|3}}}}}}|code={{{code|}}}}}}}	{{Tl}}
T9	{{Tl|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|3={{{3|{{{lang|}}}}}}|i={{{i|{{{incl|9}}}}}}|code={{{code|}}}}}	Tl

The parameter case (with the other parameters supporting it) intends to be rarely used, but when in a textual environment a special appearance is desired, with the namespace prefix in different formats, the following concealed tables shows the possibilities. All combinations are possible but not every one is useful.
