 Purpose and naming:  Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... after  Template list'


 * This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and aggregates them into an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template might be used. It's primary use is in instruction and documentation such as this passage.


 * Up to five pass parameters (numbered) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and more parameters are shown as "|...", for details see the this talk page.


 * If given no additional parameters except   it presents the same as the similar Tl macro template -- a blue link nested in curly-braces-- the same as a user would apply the template without parameters, but with a noticably clearer font and spacing on most modern browsers.


 * display compared to : (Tl: Tlx versus Tlx: )


 * Comparatively, will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may  preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions1.


 * Additionally, Tlx will take a 'named' parameter 'SISTER' to link interwiki to other sister projects such as one of these examples: '|SISTER=W:', 'Tlx|SISTER=M:', 'Tlx|SISTER=Q:', 'Tlx|SISTER=S:', allowing documentation or discourse about a template across interwiki boundaries. Small 'front end' Shell or convience templates and  are typing-aid templates available at Meta for automatic substitution in discussions about templates on Wikipedia or Meta.


 * This usage also applies to interwiki capable template variations:
 * 1) Tlxc -- which links to templates on Wikimedia Commons (The Commons).
 * 2) Tlxm -- which links to templates on Meta
 * 3) Tlxw -- which links to templates on Wikipedia

Documentation
{&#123;Template:&#125;} is a generalization of, , 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. {{#ifeq:|Tlx/doc||

Usage

 * {&#123;|template name&#125;}
 * {&#123;|template name|param&#125;}
 * {&#123;|template name|1|2|3&#125;}
