{{tlb}}and{{tlxb}} - <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">tt=yes</syntaxhighlight>: Use a monospaced font, like for
{{tlx}}and{{tlxb}} - <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">nolink=yes</syntaxhighlight>: Don't insert a template link, like for
{{tlf}},{{tld}}, and{{tlc}} - <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">anypage=yes</syntaxhighlight>: Allow linking to arbitrary page (not just template), as with
{{tlu}} - <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">braceinside=yes</syntaxhighlight>: Put braces inside the link, like for
{{tn}} - <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">subst=yes</syntaxhighlight>: Add a <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">subst:</syntaxhighlight> prefix, like for

{{tlxb|Template name}}
|
Template:Tlxb | |
{{tlxb|Template name|parameter1|parameter2}}
|
Template:Tlxb | |
{{tlxb|Template name|parm1|parm2{{=}}foo}}
|
Template:Tlxb | Equal signs need to be escaped using {{=}}.
|
{{tlxb}}
|
Template:Tlxb | This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked. |
{{tlxb|SISTER=m:|3x}}
|
Template:Tlxb | Link to page on another wiki. |
I.e., it's a {{tl}}-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's main use is in distinguishing between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.
The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use {{tlu}} instead).
Template documentation[create]| Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (create | mirror) and testcases (create) pages. Subpages of this template. |
