The template link template is a simple macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. A short example is:

{{tl|KHUX}}

which generates

{{KHUX}}

More complex variations are described below.

Example

Code	Result	Notes
{{tl|Void}}	{{Void}}	Standard usage
{{tls|Void}}	{{subst:Example}}	For templates that should be substituted
{{tl2|X1}}	{{X1}}	This formats the link to show how it would look in code
{{tl2|SISTER=M:|3x}}	{{3x}}	Same as above, for templates on another Wikimedia project (such as meta)
{{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 {{!}}
