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|x2|one|two}}	{{x2|one|two}}
{{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
