{{subst:[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Tltts/doc.

Usage

This template is exactly like {{Tltt}}, except that it includes a "subst:" before it.

The template is meant to be used in pages such as Template:Tltt, where it is desirable to provide a description of the template's usage with all parameters detailed.

Example

{{tltts3|sdd2|Article not speedied - invalid reason and why it doesn't apply|par=Article|par2=CSD tag used|par3=reason it isn't a valid speedy}}

Results in:

{{subst:sdd2|Article|CSD tag used|reason it isn't a valid speedy}}

Known problems

• On some systems, the text only displays when user hovers over the curly braces, not over the link itself.
• It is not possible to include double quotes in the text. Use single quotes instead.

TemplateData

 Parameter text is empty

<templatedata>JSON</templatedata> ./. {{TemplateBox}}

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
