{{tlx|template|first parameter|second|third|...}} → {{template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|...}}

Purpose

Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... after {{tl}} 'Template list' Template:I2This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked parameters, and aggregates them into an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template might be used. If given no additional parameters, it presents the same as the similar {{Tl}} template-- a blue link nested in curly-braces-- the same as a user would apply the template without parameters.

Up to five parameters for the specified template are displayed as placeholders, more parameters are shown as "|...", for details see the talk page.

Documentation

{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{Tl|x}}, {{Tlp|x|y}}, etcetera with arguably better readable output. This depends on the browser, but too narrow uses of "{", "|", "}" in conjunction with links can be hard to read.

Usage

{{Tlx|template name}}

{{Tlx|template name|param}}

{{Tlx|template name|1|2|3}}

{{Tlx|template name|1|2|3|more}}

{{Tlx|template name|param=value}}

Up to three placeholders for parameters of the specified template

Example

Note

On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2,..., X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation. Here they may show as redlinks, as no auto-cleansing software facility exists.
