From Guild of Archivists
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template creates example usage syntax for a template, and links the name to the template page. The name is derived from "Template list expanded".

Up to 7 pass parameters (numbered) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and more parameters are shown as "|...". An optional SISTER parameter can specify an interwiki prefix to link to another wiki. Examples:

{{Tlx|x3|1|2|3}} {{x3|1|2|3}}  
{{Tlx|x4|1|2|3|4}} {{x4|1|2|3|4}} up to 7 parameters, then ...
{{Tlx|x4|1|2|3|4}} {{x4|1|2|3|4}} | for more
{{Tlx|x1|x=u}} {{x1}} = won't work
