{{{{#ifeq:tlx|tlx|tlx|tlx}}{{#if:template| |template }}{{#if:first parameter| |first parameter }}{{#if:second| |second }}{{#if:third| |third }}{{#if:fourth| |... }}}} � {{{{#ifeq:template|template|template|template}}{{#if:first parameter| |first parameter }}{{#if:second| |second }}{{#if:third| |third }}{{#if:fourth| |fourth }}{{#if:fifth| |... }}}}

Purpose and naming: Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... after {{{{#ifeq:tl|tl|tl|tl}}{{#if:| |{{{2}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}} Template list'

  • This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template could be coded, literally. It's primary use is in instruction and documentation.
  • Specifics: Up to five pass parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and over 5 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "&#124;..."). A keyword parameter can be used, when tagged as a nowiki-keyword: "<nowiki>siz=10<\ owiki>" with each keyword parameter surrounded by "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see the this talk page.
  • Exceptions: If the intended template lists numerous/keyword parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage in double-braces, putting only nowiki-braces "{{" to start, such as: "<nowiki>{{<\

owiki>Anytemplate |arg1=23 |siz=250px}}".

  • If given no additional parameters except  'template name' ({{{1}}}),  it presents the same as the similar {{Tl}} macro template -- a blue link nested in curly-braces-- the same as a user would apply the template without parameters, but with a noticably clearer font and spacing on most modern browsers.

|Tl }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}} display compared to {{{{#ifeq:tlx|tlx|tlx|Tlx}}{{#if:Tl| |Tl }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}}: (Tl: {{Tlx}} versus Tlx: {{{{#ifeq:tl|tl|tl|Tl}}{{#if:| |{{{2}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}})

|{{{2}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}} will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions1.

  • Additionally, Tlx will take a 'named' parameter 'SISTER' to link interwiki to other sister projects such as one of these examples: '|SISTER=W:', 'Tlx|SISTER=M:', 'Tlx|SISTER=Q:', 'Tlx|SISTER=S:', allowing documentation or discourse about a template across interwiki boundaries. Small 'front end' Shell or convience templates {{{{#ifeq:tlxw|tlxw|tlxw|Tlxw}}{{#if:|

|{{{2}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}} and {{{{#ifeq:tlxm|tlxm|tlxm|Tlxm}}{{#if:| |{{{2}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}} are typing-aid templates available at Meta for automatic substitution in discussions about templates on Wikipedia or Meta.

This usage also applies to interwiki capable template variations
  1. {{Tlxc}} -- which links to templates on Wikimedia Commons (The Commons).
  2. {{Tlxm}} -- which links to templates on Meta
  3. {{Tlxw}} -- which links to templates on Wikipedia

[edit] Documentation

{{Tlx/doc}} is a generalization of {{{{#ifeq:tl|tl|tl|Tl}}{{#if:x| |x }}{{#if:| | }}{{#if:| | }}{{#if:| | }}{{#if:| |... }}}}, {{{{#ifeq:tlp|tlp|tlp|Tlp}}{{#if:x| |x }}{{#if:y| |y }}{{#if:| | }}{{#if:| | }}{{#if:| |... }}}}, etcetera with arguably better readable output. This depends on the browser, but too narrow uses of "{", "|", "}" in conjunction with links can be hard to read. {{#ifeq:Tlx/doc|Tlx/doc||

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.
