Explanation
It is necessary to distinguish between a template and its parameter names and parameter values, and this meta-template with its meta-parameter-names and meta-parameter-values.
Wikimedia Commons has lots of other template templates, but none is really able to describe complicated parametrizing easily.
In general, each parameter is described with a meta-pair |pn= |n= , an optional meta-parameter p1...p25 for the name and an optional unnamed meta-parameter for the value.
For unnamed parameters this name can be the number; if even that is not needed, some or all meta-parameter names may dismiss.
How to use
After specifying the template name, its parameter values are specified with the unnamed meta-parameters; its parameter names can be specified with the meta-parameters p1 to pn.
To describe the parameters of template Tle, the following can be used:
{{ Tle | T = Tle | 1 = parm-value1 | 2 = parm-value2 | ... | n = parm-valuen | p1 = parm-name1 | p2 = parm-name2 | ... | pn = parm-namen }}
A template with only unnamed parameters may look like e.g.
{{ Example | 1 = parm-value1 | 2 = parm-value2 | ... | n = parm-valuen }}
or without the numbers
{{ Example | parm-value1 | parm-value2 | ... | parm-valuen }}
Values can as well be empty - even if it is not a very useful template description to say nothing about a value.
Restriction
While the values can be specified without names, it makes no sense to specify a name without its value; at least an empty value is necessary.
Superfluous names without values will be ignored:
- {{Tle|t=m||||p3=parameter#3}} will give {{ M | parameter#3 = }}
- {{Tle|t=m||||p4=superfluous}} will give {{ M }}
Examples
The template:{{Color}} has two unnamed parameters (1=color, 2=text) and three named parameters (bg, title and css). With
{{Tle|T=color|text color|any text|p3=bg|background color|p4=title|tooltip text|p5=css|CSS attributes}}
this description is made: {{ Color | text color | any text | bg = background color | title = tooltip text | css = CSS attributes }}
{{Tle|t=C| | | | | | | | | }} will just display {{ C }}
Without any meta-parameter, {{Tle}} just shows the template name: {{ Clr }} or {{ Clr }}.
With neither T nor t the default template name will be Tle.
