{{Tlx}} takes the name of another template and some associated pipe-tricked parameters, and displays them as an example of how the template could be coded. Its primary use is in wiki-editing instruction and documentation where short template examples would be helpful, and should never be used in "real" page content. To demonstrate a simple template without parameters, see {{Tl}}.
To document templates that use more than five parameters, use <pre> tags to wrap and format the content.
Template
{{Tlx|<TEMPLATE>|<PARAMETER>|<PARAMETER>|...}}
Usage
Provide the template name as the first parameter, and up to five arguments to the template as the remaining parameters.
Example
{{Tlx|Example template|example parameter one|second example parameter}}
The above use produces:
- {{Example template|example parameter one|second example parameter}}
