This is the {{Tl|Tlp}} or '''template link with parameters''' template.

It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a template name would be used in code.

Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

:{{Tlc|Tlp|name|parameters}} = Tlp|name|parameters

Features of {{Tlp|Tlp}}:
* It shows a template name with a link to that template.
* It shows up to eight parameters.
* It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
* It prevents line wraps in its output.
* It uses normal text style. (While for instance {{Tlx|Tlx}} uses <tt>teletype</tt> text style.)

This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. Then on the first occurrence of a template name use {{Tl|Tl}}, {{Tlp|Tlp}} or {{Tlx|Tlx}}, and then use {{Tlf|Tlf}}, {{Tld|Tld}} or {{Tlc|Tlc}}.
