__NOTOC__
The '''template link''' template is a simple [[w:Macro (computer science)|macro]] [[m:Help:template|template]] used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. A short example is:

::<code><nowiki>{{tl|Example}}</nowiki></code>
:which generates
::{{tl|Example}}

<templatedata>{
"description": "This template displays a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "template name",
"description": "the template name without the namespace prefix “Template:”, which is added automatically",
"type": "line",
"required": true
}
}}</templatedata>

More complex variations are described below.

! Notes
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl|Void}}</nowiki></code>
| {{[[Template:Void|Void]]}}

|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tls|Void}}</nowiki></code>
| {{[[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst]]:[[Template:Example|Example]]}}
| For templates that should be [[Wikipedia:Substitution|substituted]]
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl2|X1}}</nowiki></code>
| <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[{{{LANG|}}}{{{SISTER|}}}{{ns:Template}}:X1|X1]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
| This formats the link to show how it would look in code
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl2|sister=M:|3x}}</nowiki></code>
| <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[{{{LANG|}}}M:{{ns:Template}}:3x|3x]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
| Same as above, for templates on another Wikimedia project (such as meta)
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl2|sister=wikibooks|lang=de:|WP}}</nowiki></code>
| <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Vorlage:WP WP]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
| For templates on another language project
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl|1==)}}</nowiki></code>
| {{tl|1==)}}
| Use the format <code><nowiki>{{tl|1=templatename}}</nowiki></code> if the template contains template coding characters such as {{tl|1==)}} or {{tl|1=!}}
