Template:Tl-nav

• {{tl}} – Template link, no parameters and normal text style.
• {{tlc}} – Not linked, several parameters and text in <code></code> style.
• {{tld}} – Not linked, several parameters and teletype text style.

• {{tlf}} – Not linked, several parameters and normal text style.
• {{tlx}} – Template link, several parameters and interwiki links, teletype text style.
• {{tn}} – Same as

This is the Template loop detected: Template:Tlf template.

This template works almost exactly like

This is the Template loop detected: Template:Tlc template.

This page also provides the full documentation for the templates {{tld}} and {{tlf}}, which work almost exactly identically.

Purpose and naming

When a template name with braces is to be shown in documentation, the braces have to be escaped in some way so it doesn't become an actual call to the template. Instead of using <nowiki></nowiki> tags you can write it more simply and concisely by using the Template loop detected: Template:Tlc, Template loop detected: Template:Tlc, or Template loop detected: Template:Tlc templates.

These templates work similarly to Template loop detected: Template:Tlc and Template loop detected: Template:Tlc, but don't make the template name into a link. When writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since they can decrease readability. So on the first occurrence of a template name use {{tl}} or {{tlx}}, and then use Template loop detected: Template:Tlc, Template loop detected: Template:Tlc or Template loop detected: Template:Tlc thereafter.

The three names were based on {{tl}} template link', despite the fact that, unlike the actual Template loop detected: Template:Tlc template, these three don't include an actual link. The mnemonics for Template loop detected: Template:Tlc and Template loop detected: Template:Tlc were invented after the fact, since the template creator used the single letters still available rather than the preferred Template loop detected: Template:Tlc (using <tt>) and Template loop detected: Template:Tlc (using "normal", non-coded text style) monikers.

Basic operation

Here is how these templates look. Code is to the left; actual rendering to the right:

Template loop detected: Template:Tlc = Template loop detected: Template:Tlc

Template loop detected: Template:Tlc = {{name|parameters}}

Template loop detected: Template:Tlc = Template loop detected: Template:Tlf

Use with editprotected templates

Most Wikipedia users and even editors will have little or no need for use (or knowledge) of these templates. You will find them of more use if you are a writer or documenter of templates. However, editors may be pointed here when attempting to deal with edit requests on pages which have been protected in some way.

Pages which have been protected can't be edited by every user, but would-be editors can request specific changes on the corresponding Discussion page. An editor requesting a change to a semi-protected page, for example, would add the {{editsemiprotected}} template, followed by their request, to the Talk page. The Template loop detected: Template:Tlc template expands to a texty notice which includes the instruction, "Replace the Template loop detected: Template:Tlc template with Template loop detected: Template:Tlc when the request has been accepted or rejected." An empowered editor acting on the request would then change the template per this instruction.

The desired effect is to replace the Template loop detected: Template:Tlc template (with its big, eye-catching box of information) by the name of the template, merely showing that the template had been there, and acted upon. The use of the Template loop detected: Template:Tlc template means that the template should appear in a normal, proportional font-face, as in "Template loop detected: Template:Tlf".

Documentation

Functional details

• 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. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.
• Specifics here???
• Features of Template loop detected: Template:Tlc, Template loop detected: Template:Tlc and Template loop detected: Template:Tlc:
  • They show a template name and up to eight parameters.
  • They also show empty parameters. (See examples below.)
  • They prevent line wraps in their output.

Usage

Template loop detected: Template:Tlc → Template loop detected: Template:Tlc

Template loop detected: Template:Tlc → {{Template|first_parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eighth}}

Template loop detected: Template:Tlc → Template loop detected: Template:Tlf

Examples

Note: Wikitables make the <code></code> tags transparent, unfortunately, so the "code colouring" is missing in these examples.

• Exceptions: If the intended template lists numerous/keyword parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>, for example: <code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>. If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

If you have equals signs in your template parameters then it probably is simpler and clearer to code it using <nowiki> tags, etc. Here are the codes to emulate Template loop detected: Template:Tlc, Template loop detected: Template:Tlc and Template loop detected: Template:Tlc respectively. Code is to the left and actual rendering to the right:

<nowiki>{{name|one=a|two=b}}</nowiki> = {{name|one=a|two=b}}

<tt><nowiki>{{name|one=a|two=b}}</nowiki></tt> = {{name|one=a|two=b}}

<code><nowiki>{{name|one=a|two=b}}</nowiki></code> = {{name|one=a|two=b}}
