සැකිල්ල:Tlp/ලේඛය

This template is used on 179,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This is the {{tlp}} (template link with parameters) template.

It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a template name would be used in code.

Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

{{tlp|name|parameters}} = {{name|parameters}}

Features of {{tlp}}:

• It shows a template name with a link to that template.
• It shows up to eight parameters.
• It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
• It prevents line wraps in its output.
• It uses normal text style. ({{tlx}}, for instance, uses <code>...</code> text style.)

This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. See the see also section below for some of them. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability – i.e. on the first occurrence of a template name, use {{tl}}, {{tlp}} or {{Tlx}} and thereafter use {{tlf}}, {{tlc}} or {{tld}}.

Examples

Code	Output	Comments
{{tlp}}	{{tlp|...}}	Shows its own syntax.
{{tlp|name}}	{{name}}
{{tlp|name|first}}	{{name|first}}
{{tlp|name|first|last}}	{{name|first|last}}
{{tlp|name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j}}	{{name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h}}	Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped.
{{tlp|name||three|four}}	{{name||three|four}}	Also shows empty parameters.
{{tlp|name||three|}}	{{name||three|}}	Even shows empty parameters that come at the end.
{{tlp|name|first=a|last=b}}	{{name}}	Equal signs are a problem, but there are a couple ways to fix:
{{tlp|name|2=first=a|3=last=b}}	{{name|first=a|last=b}}	Use numbered parameters to fix it. Here, parameter "|2=" is assigned the string "first=a". Start with #2, since "name" is already in the "|1=" slot. Note that all subsequent parameters after a numbered parameter must also be numbered.
{{tlp|name|first{{=}}a|last{{=}}b}}	{{name|first=a|last=b}}	Or, simply use, "{{=}}", the equal-sign template, to "escape" the symbol.
{{tlp|name|2=1=a|3=2=b}}	{{name|1=a|2=b}}	Both techniques also work with numbered positional parameters (e.g.: "|1=", "|2=").
{{tlp|name|2=1=a|last{{=}}b}}	{{name|last=b}}	The named parameter ("|last=") clobbered the prior one ("|2="). Again, all subsequent parameters after a numbered parameter must also be numbered...
{{tlp|name|2=1=a|3=last=b}}	{{name|1=a|last=b}}	... but that's easy to fix, by adding the position number ("|3=") to the last parameter.
