[画像:Warning] This template is used in system messages, and on approximately7,530,000pages, or roughly 11% of all pages.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages.

The template link template is a simple macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing the template name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a template by name without invoking it.

Note that this template has aliases "tee-el" {{tl }} and "tee-one" {{t1 }}. They should not be confused with "tee-eye" {{ti }}, which is an alias for {{Template information }}.

{{Tla }} works exactly like {{tl }} with the addition of optionally displaying alternative label text (link label). {{Tlg }} can include the use of parameters in the template.

Examples

A short example of its use is:

{{tl |Example}}

which generates

Other longer examples:

Code	Result	Notes
`{{tl \|Void}}`	{{Void }}	Standard usage
`{{tls \|Example}}`	{{subst:Example }}	For templates that should be substituted
`{{tl2 \|X1}}`	`{{X1}}`	This formats the link to show how it would look in code (i.e., monospace font)
`{{tl2 \|sister=M:\|3x}}`	`{{3x}}`	Same as above, for templates on another Wikimedia project (in this example, Meta, using `m:`). See Interwiki codes.
`{{tl2 \|sister=wikibooks\|lang=de:\|WP}}`	`{{WP}}`	For templates on another language project
`{{tl \|1==)}}`	{{=) }}	Use the format `{{tl\|1=templatename}}` if the template contains template coding characters such as {{=) }} or {{! }}
