模板:Template shortcut

This is the {{High-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for templates used on more than 2000 pages.

For templates where the number of pages is more than 100,000 or if the first parameter is set as "risk" a stronger wording is given.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use 模板:Tlf, like so:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first{{=}}first value|second|third{{=}}third value}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first=first value|second|third=third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=value''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in |. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single |... at the end of the parameter list.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really 模板:Em be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.

If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters

• If the only parameter supplied is 模板:Param, i.e. a template's name, 's output is the same as  – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tl}}
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tl}}

will also not take nor display additional parameters.

Named parameters

|subst=

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example, {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Welcome|3=subst=Y}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Welcome|subst=Y}}. This is similar to the action of the {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs}} template: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs|Welcome}} produces: 模板:Tlxs.

|SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Documentation

{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{tl|x}}, {{tlp|x}} etc., with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as "模板:Thin space{模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space|模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space}模板:Thin space" and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}, see {{tlw}}, which makes the click target bigger).

Usage

{{tlx|Templatename}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param=value}}

There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.

Examples

Note

At the en.wikipedia and Meta sites, X0, X1, X2, ... X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other sister projects.

• {{tnull}}, like 模板:Tnull without linking the template.

The template can be used as is, and will automatically use bot-updated transclusion counts from subpages of Module:Transclusion_count/data/ when available. But it can also take some parameters:

• number of transclusions: The first parameter is either a static number of times the template has been transcluded, or the word "risk" (without quotes) to display "a very large number of" instead of the actual value. This value will be ignored if transclusion data is available for the current page (generally for templates with more than 2000 transclusions).
• discussion page, or use + notation: The second parameter is overloaded. It will cause the number of transclusions to display as "#,###+" instead of "approximately #,###" when set equal to "yes" (without quotes). When used in this manner, values will be rounded down, instead of rounded to the nearest number with the appropriate number of significant figures. When set to any other non-blank value, it will replace the link to the template's talk page to the value of the parameter (for example, 2=WP:VPT will insert a link to WP:VPT),
• all-pages=yes: Will also output what percentage of all pages use the template. This should only be used for very highly transcluded templates.
• info=extra information: When set to non-blank, will insert extra information into the template text if the template has more than 10,000 transclusions or paramter 1 is set to "risk".
• demo=Template_name: Will use the transclusion count for the template at Template:Template_name instead of detecting what template it is being used on. Capitalization must exactly match the value used in Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Transclusion_count/data/.
• form=: When set to "editnotice", will display the message using {{editnotice}} instead of {{ombox}}.
• expiry=: Sets the |expiry= paramter for {{editnotice}}.

Examples

The full code for a /doc page top can look like this:

{{documentation subpage}}
{{high-use}}
<!-- Please place categories where indicated at the bottom of this page and interwikis at Wikidata (see [[Wikipedia:Wikidata]]) -->

Standard form

{{high-use| 4,000 }}
{{high-use| 4,000 | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}
{{high-use| | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

Rounding and + notation

{{high-use| 49,500 | demo=A template that does not exist }}
{{high-use| 49,500+ | demo=A template that does not exist }}

Editnotice form

{{high-use| form=editnotice }}

High risk

{{high-use| demo=Yesno }}
{{high-use| risk }}
{{high-use| risk | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates | all-pages = yes | info = This is a very large number! }}

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.

Ahechtbot compiles usage statistics for all templates with 2,000 or more transclusions using User:Ahechtbot/transclusioncount.py, and writes them to subpages of Module:Transclusion count/data (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Ahechtbot 6). These pages are usually updated every Sunday, but since running the query is resource intensive, it may be delayed or skipped if Wikipedia server usage is high. If a transclusion count is available in Module:Transclusion count/data, any manually input values will be ignored by this template.

模板:Sandbox other This template displays one or more of a template's shortcuts (that is, redirects, also known as aliases, as in the box appearing at the right. {{Tsh}} is a shortcut to this template, {{template shortcut}}, and can be used in its place, as it is in this documentation's source wikitext.

Usage

Place this template and its list of few to one, carefully selected shortcut(s) at the top of the template documentation page's wikitext, right underneath {{Documentation subpage}}. In the saved, rendered text, those shortcuts will appear in this template's Shortcut(s) box, whose title will reflect the number of list items by automatically being singular or plural in form.

Which ones to display here

Although the template can show up to ten shortcuts, you are encouraged to choose well which ones to display in this template's box. Even if many redirects exist, two or three at the most is almost always enough. By keeping the number of redirects presented in the Shortcut box small, it makes it easier to remember them, and the documentation is kept well organized.

Where to list any others

List others in the Redirects section of the template documentation. Again, not all of them need to be listed; some shortcuts are there just for historical reasons, and others differ only in minor points such as white spaces or capitalization. Such shortcut-name variations are unnecessary to list at all—just list the standard, most common version of such a variation.

Optional parameters

This template has several optional parameters:

• float – if set to "left", then the box will float to the left of the page, instead of the default float "right".
• clear – if set to "right" (when float also is set to "right"), the box will be pushed to the right margin of the page, and 模板:Clarify Similarly, if set to "left" (when float also is set to "left"), the box will be pushed to the left margin of the page.
• pre, pre2, pre3 ... up to pre10 – can be used to show some text before the shortcut links, but within the braces. This is mostly used to add the text "subst:". This shows the proper syntax for using the template with substitution.

As with the other shortcuts in the saved, rendered version of this template, this shortcut code can be copied from its line in the box on the documentation page, as it is, and pasted in the wikitext of another page where you wish its rendered version to appear.

• top – to change the padding above the box (e.g. |top=0 for no padding, |top=0.2em, |top=4模板:\|top=4px).

Examples of basic code

To display one template shortcut named {{uw-v1}}:

This is the {{High-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for templates used on more than 2000 pages.

For templates where the number of pages is more than 100,000 or if the first parameter is set as "risk" a stronger wording is given.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use 模板:Tlf, like so:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first{{=}}first value|second|third{{=}}third value}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first=first value|second|third=third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=value''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in |. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single |... at the end of the parameter list.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really 模板:Em be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.

If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters

• If the only parameter supplied is 模板:Param, i.e. a template's name, 's output is the same as  – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tl}}
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tl}}

will also not take nor display additional parameters.

Named parameters

• {{tnull}}, like 模板:Tnull without linking the template.

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use 模板:Tlf, like so:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first{{=}}first value|second|third{{=}}third value}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first=first value|second|third=third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=value''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in |. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single |... at the end of the parameter list.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really 模板:Em be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.

If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters

• If the only parameter supplied is 模板:Param, i.e. a template's name, 's output is the same as  – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tl}}
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tl}}

will also not take nor display additional parameters.

Named parameters

|subst=

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example, {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Welcome|3=subst=Y}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Welcome|subst=Y}}. This is similar to the action of the {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs}} template: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs|Welcome}} produces: 模板:Tlxs.

|SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Documentation

{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{tl|x}}, {{tlp|x}} etc., with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as "模板:Thin space{模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space|模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space}模板:Thin space" and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}, see {{tlw}}, which makes the click target bigger).

Usage

{{tlx|Templatename}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param=value}}

There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.

The template can be used as is, and will automatically use bot-updated transclusion counts from subpages of Module:Transclusion_count/data/ when available. But it can also take some parameters:

• number of transclusions: The first parameter is either a static number of times the template has been transcluded, or the word "risk" (without quotes) to display "a very large number of" instead of the actual value. This value will be ignored if transclusion data is available for the current page (generally for templates with more than 2000 transclusions).
• discussion page, or use + notation: The second parameter is overloaded. It will cause the number of transclusions to display as "#,###+" instead of "approximately #,###" when set equal to "yes" (without quotes). When used in this manner, values will be rounded down, instead of rounded to the nearest number with the appropriate number of significant figures. When set to any other non-blank value, it will replace the link to the template's talk page to the value of the parameter (for example, 2=WP:VPT will insert a link to WP:VPT),
• all-pages=yes: Will also output what percentage of all pages use the template. This should only be used for very highly transcluded templates.
• info=extra information: When set to non-blank, will insert extra information into the template text if the template has more than 10,000 transclusions or paramter 1 is set to "risk".
• demo=Template_name: Will use the transclusion count for the template at Template:Template_name instead of detecting what template it is being used on. Capitalization must exactly match the value used in Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Transclusion_count/data/.
• form=: When set to "editnotice", will display the message using {{editnotice}} instead of {{ombox}}.
• expiry=: Sets the |expiry= paramter for {{editnotice}}.

Examples

The full code for a /doc page top can look like this:

{{documentation subpage}}
{{high-use}}
<!-- Please place categories where indicated at the bottom of this page and interwikis at Wikidata (see [[Wikipedia:Wikidata]]) -->

Standard form

{{high-use| 4,000 }}
{{high-use| 4,000 | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}
{{high-use| | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

Rounding and + notation

{{high-use| 49,500 | demo=A template that does not exist }}
{{high-use| 49,500+ | demo=A template that does not exist }}

Editnotice form

{{high-use| form=editnotice }}

High risk

{{high-use| demo=Yesno }}
{{high-use| risk }}
{{high-use| risk | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates | all-pages = yes | info = This is a very large number! }}

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.

Ahechtbot compiles usage statistics for all templates with 2,000 or more transclusions using User:Ahechtbot/transclusioncount.py, and writes them to subpages of Module:Transclusion count/data (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Ahechtbot 6). These pages are usually updated every Sunday, but since running the query is resource intensive, it may be delayed or skipped if Wikipedia server usage is high. If a transclusion count is available in Module:Transclusion count/data, any manually input values will be ignored by this template.

Template counters

• toollabs:templatecount/ – Easy to use, returns current (real time) transclusion count for a template.
• Wikipedia:Database reports/Templates transcluded on the most pages – Lists the 1000 most transcluded templates. Not updated since November 2018.

• tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/embeddedincount.py – Seems to lack human interface, probably meant for programs to call.
• Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Transclusion_count/data/ Template count data used by this template. Broken down by first letter of template and rounded to two or three significant figures. Updated weekly.

模板:Sandbox other This template displays one or more of a template's shortcuts (that is, redirects, also known as aliases, as in the box appearing at the right. {{Tsh}} is a shortcut to this template, {{template shortcut}}, and can be used in its place, as it is in this documentation's source wikitext.

Usage

Place this template and its list of few to one, carefully selected shortcut(s) at the top of the template documentation page's wikitext, right underneath {{Documentation subpage}}. In the saved, rendered text, those shortcuts will appear in this template's Shortcut(s) box, whose title will reflect the number of list items by automatically being singular or plural in form.

Which ones to display here

Although the template can show up to ten shortcuts, you are encouraged to choose well which ones to display in this template's box. Even if many redirects exist, two or three at the most is almost always enough. By keeping the number of redirects presented in the Shortcut box small, it makes it easier to remember them, and the documentation is kept well organized.

Where to list any others

List others in the Redirects section of the template documentation. Again, not all of them need to be listed; some shortcuts are there just for historical reasons, and others differ only in minor points such as white spaces or capitalization. Such shortcut-name variations are unnecessary to list at all—just list the standard, most common version of such a variation.

Optional parameters

This template has several optional parameters:

• float – if set to "left", then the box will float to the left of the page, instead of the default float "right".
• clear – if set to "right" (when float also is set to "right"), the box will be pushed to the right margin of the page, and 模板:Clarify Similarly, if set to "left" (when float also is set to "left"), the box will be pushed to the left margin of the page.
• pre, pre2, pre3 ... up to pre10 – can be used to show some text before the shortcut links, but within the braces. This is mostly used to add the text "subst:". This shows the proper syntax for using the template with substitution.

As with the other shortcuts in the saved, rendered version of this template, this shortcut code can be copied from its line in the box on the documentation page, as it is, and pasted in the wikitext of another page where you wish its rendered version to appear.

• top – to change the padding above the box (e.g. |top=0 for no padding, |top=0.2em, |top=4模板:\|top=4px).

Examples of basic code

To display one template shortcut named {{uw-v1}}:

To display three template shortcuts for {{uw-vandalism1}} named {{uw-v1}}, {{uw-vand1}}, and {{uw-vandal1}}:

Example with the float parameter

Using |float=left makes this template flow to the left of the page:

{{template shortcut|float=left|uw-v1}}

Example with text ("subst:") within the braces

This is mostly used to add text to show how the template could be used with substitution.

Use |pre2=subst: and |pre3=subst: to show "subst:" before the shortcut links, but within the braces:

{{template shortcut|uw-v1|pre2=subst:|uw-vand1|pre3=subst:|uw-vandal1}}

  • {{shortcut-l}}, for a left-aligned standard shortcut notice.
• {{policy shortcut}}, for shortcuts to sections of policy pages.
• {{R to redirect template}}, the rcat template for redirects to rcat templates

To display three template shortcuts for {{uw-vandalism1}} named {{uw-v1}}, {{uw-vand1}}, and {{uw-vandal1}}:

This is the {{High-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for templates used on more than 2000 pages.

For templates where the number of pages is more than 100,000 or if the first parameter is set as "risk" a stronger wording is given.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use 模板:Tlf, like so:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first{{=}}first value|second|third{{=}}third value}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first=first value|second|third=third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=value''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in |. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single |... at the end of the parameter list.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really 模板:Em be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.

If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters

• If the only parameter supplied is 模板:Param, i.e. a template's name, 's output is the same as  – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tl}}

will also not take nor display additional parameters.

Named parameters

|subst=

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example, {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Welcome|3=subst=Y}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Welcome|subst=Y}}. This is similar to the action of the {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs}} template: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs|Welcome}} produces: 模板:Tlxs.

|SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in |. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom.

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example, {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Welcome|3=subst=Y}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Welcome|subst=Y}}. This is similar to the action of the {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs}} template: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs|Welcome}} produces: 模板:Tlxs.

|SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Documentation

{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{tl|x}}, {{tlp|x}} etc., with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as "模板:Thin space{模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space|模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space}模板:Thin space" and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}, see {{tlw}}, which makes the click target bigger).

Usage

{{tlx|Templatename}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param=value}}

There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.

Examples

Note

At the en.wikipedia and Meta sites, X0, X1, X2, ... X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other sister projects.

The template can be used as is, and will automatically use bot-updated transclusion counts from subpages of Module:Transclusion_count/data/ when available. But it can also take some parameters:

• number of transclusions: The first parameter is either a static number of times the template has been transcluded, or the word "risk" (without quotes) to display "a very large number of" instead of the actual value. This value will be ignored if transclusion data is available for the current page (generally for templates with more than 2000 transclusions).
• discussion page, or use + notation: The second parameter is overloaded. It will cause the number of transclusions to display as "#,###+" instead of "approximately #,###" when set equal to "yes" (without quotes). When used in this manner, values will be rounded down, instead of rounded to the nearest number with the appropriate number of significant figures. When set to any other non-blank value, it will replace the link to the template's talk page to the value of the parameter (for example, 2=WP:VPT will insert a link to WP:VPT),
• all-pages=yes: Will also output what percentage of all pages use the template. This should only be used for very highly transcluded templates.
• info=extra information: When set to non-blank, will insert extra information into the template text if the template has more than 10,000 transclusions or paramter 1 is set to "risk".
• demo=Template_name: Will use the transclusion count for the template at Template:Template_name instead of detecting what template it is being used on. Capitalization must exactly match the value used in Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Transclusion_count/data/.
• form=: When set to "editnotice", will display the message using {{editnotice}} instead of {{ombox}}.
• expiry=: Sets the |expiry= paramter for {{editnotice}}.

Examples

The full code for a /doc page top can look like this:

{{high-use| form=editnotice }}

High risk

{{high-use| demo=Yesno }}
{{high-use| risk }}
{{high-use| risk | Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates | all-pages = yes | info = This is a very large number! }}

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.

Ahechtbot compiles usage statistics for all templates with 2,000 or more transclusions using User:Ahechtbot/transclusioncount.py, and writes them to subpages of Module:Transclusion count/data (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Ahechtbot 6). These pages are usually updated every Sunday, but since running the query is resource intensive, it may be delayed or skipped if Wikipedia server usage is high. If a transclusion count is available in Module:Transclusion count/data, any manually input values will be ignored by this template.

Template counters

• toollabs:templatecount/ – Easy to use, returns current (real time) transclusion count for a template.
• Wikipedia:Database reports/Templates transcluded on the most pages – Lists the 1000 most transcluded templates. Not updated since November 2018.

模板:Sandbox other This template displays one or more of a template's shortcuts (that is, redirects, also known as aliases, as in the box appearing at the right. {{Tsh}} is a shortcut to this template, {{template shortcut}}, and can be used in its place, as it is in this documentation's source wikitext.

Usage

Place this template and its list of few to one, carefully selected shortcut(s) at the top of the template documentation page's wikitext, right underneath {{Documentation subpage}}. In the saved, rendered text, those shortcuts will appear in this template's Shortcut(s) box, whose title will reflect the number of list items by automatically being singular or plural in form.

Which ones to display here

Although the template can show up to ten shortcuts, you are encouraged to choose well which ones to display in this template's box. Even if many redirects exist, two or three at the most is almost always enough. By keeping the number of redirects presented in the Shortcut box small, it makes it easier to remember them, and the documentation is kept well organized.

Where to list any others

List others in the Redirects section of the template documentation. Again, not all of them need to be listed; some shortcuts are there just for historical reasons, and others differ only in minor points such as white spaces or capitalization. Such shortcut-name variations are unnecessary to list at all—just list the standard, most common version of such a variation.

Optional parameters

This template has several optional parameters:

• float – if set to "left", then the box will float to the left of the page, instead of the default float "right".
• clear – if set to "right" (when float also is set to "right"), the box will be pushed to the right margin of the page, and 模板:Clarify Similarly, if set to "left" (when float also is set to "left"), the box will be pushed to the left margin of the page.
• pre, pre2, pre3 ... up to pre10 – can be used to show some text before the shortcut links, but within the braces. This is mostly used to add the text "subst:". This shows the proper syntax for using the template with substitution.

As with the other shortcuts in the saved, rendered version of this template, this shortcut code can be copied from its line in the box on the documentation page, as it is, and pasted in the wikitext of another page where you wish its rendered version to appear.

• top – to change the padding above the box (e.g. |top=0 for no padding, |top=0.2em, |top=4模板:\|top=4px).

Examples of basic code

To display one template shortcut named {{uw-v1}}:

To display three template shortcuts for {{uw-vandalism1}} named {{uw-v1}}, {{uw-vand1}}, and {{uw-vandal1}}:

Example with the float parameter

Using |float=left makes this template flow to the left of the page:

{{template shortcut|float=left|uw-v1}}

Example with text ("subst:") within the braces

This is mostly used to add text to show how the template could be used with substitution.

Use |pre2=subst: and |pre3=subst: to show "subst:" before the shortcut links, but within the braces:

{{template shortcut|uw-v1|pre2=subst:|uw-vand1|pre3=subst:|uw-vandal1}}

See also

• {{shortcut}}, the standard shortcut notice.
  • {{shortcut-l}}, for a left-aligned standard shortcut notice.
• {{policy shortcut}}, for shortcuts to sections of policy pages.
• {{R to redirect template}}, the rcat template for redirects to rcat templates

Example with the float parameter

Using |float=left makes this template flow to the left of the page:

{{template shortcut|float=left|uw-v1}}

This is the {{High-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for templates used on more than 2000 pages.

For templates where the number of pages is more than 100,000 or if the first parameter is set as "risk" a stronger wording is given.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use 模板:Tlf, like so:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first{{=}}first value|second|third{{=}}third value}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first=first value|second|third=third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=value''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in |. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single |... at the end of the parameter list.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really 模板:Em be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.

If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters

• If the only parameter supplied is 模板:Param, i.e. a template's name, 's output is the same as  – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tl}}
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tl}}

will also not take nor display additional parameters.

Named parameters

|subst=

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example, {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Welcome|3=subst=Y}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Welcome|subst=Y}}. This is similar to the action of the {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs}} template: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs|Welcome}} produces: 模板:Tlxs.

|SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Documentation

{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{tl|x}}, {{tlp|x}} etc., with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as "模板:Thin space{模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space|模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space}模板:Thin space" and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}, see {{tlw}}, which makes the click target bigger).

Usage

{{tlx|Templatename}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}

The template can be used as is, and will automatically use bot-updated transclusion counts from subpages of Module:Transclusion_count/data/ when available. But it can also take some parameters:

• number of transclusions: The first parameter is either a static number of times the template has been transcluded, or the word "risk" (without quotes) to display "a very large number of" instead of the actual value. This value will be ignored if transclusion data is available for the current page (generally for templates with more than 2000 transclusions).
• discussion page, or use + notation: The second parameter is overloaded. It will cause the number of transclusions to display as "#,###+" instead of "approximately #,###" when set equal to "yes" (without quotes). When used in this manner, values will be rounded down, instead of rounded to the nearest number with the appropriate number of significant figures. When set to any other non-blank value, it will replace the link to the template's talk page to the value of the parameter (for example, 2=WP:VPT will insert a link to WP:VPT),
• all-pages=yes: Will also output what percentage of all pages use the template. This should only be used for very highly transcluded templates.
• info=extra information: When set to non-blank, will insert extra information into the template text if the template has more than 10,000 transclusions or paramter 1 is set to "risk".
• demo=Template_name: Will use the transclusion count for the template at Template:Template_name instead of detecting what template it is being used on. Capitalization must exactly match the value used in Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Transclusion_count/data/.
• form=: When set to "editnotice", will display the message using {{editnotice}} instead of {{ombox}}.
• expiry=: Sets the |expiry= paramter for {{editnotice}}.

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance see the top of this documentation.

Ahechtbot compiles usage statistics for all templates with 2,000 or more transclusions using User:Ahechtbot/transclusioncount.py, and writes them to subpages of Module:Transclusion count/data (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Ahechtbot 6). These pages are usually updated every Sunday, but since running the query is resource intensive, it may be delayed or skipped if Wikipedia server usage is high. If a transclusion count is available in Module:Transclusion count/data, any manually input values will be ignored by this template.

模板:Sandbox other This template displays one or more of a template's shortcuts (that is, redirects, also known as aliases, as in the box appearing at the right. {{Tsh}} is a shortcut to this template, {{template shortcut}}, and can be used in its place, as it is in this documentation's source wikitext.

Usage

Place this template and its list of few to one, carefully selected shortcut(s) at the top of the template documentation page's wikitext, right underneath {{Documentation subpage}}. In the saved, rendered text, those shortcuts will appear in this template's Shortcut(s) box, whose title will reflect the number of list items by automatically being singular or plural in form.

Which ones to display here

Although the template can show up to ten shortcuts, you are encouraged to choose well which ones to display in this template's box. Even if many redirects exist, two or three at the most is almost always enough. By keeping the number of redirects presented in the Shortcut box small, it makes it easier to remember them, and the documentation is kept well organized.

Where to list any others

List others in the Redirects section of the template documentation. Again, not all of them need to be listed; some shortcuts are there just for historical reasons, and others differ only in minor points such as white spaces or capitalization. Such shortcut-name variations are unnecessary to list at all—just list the standard, most common version of such a variation.

Optional parameters

This template has several optional parameters:

• float – if set to "left", then the box will float to the left of the page, instead of the default float "right".
• clear – if set to "right" (when float also is set to "right"), the box will be pushed to the right margin of the page, and 模板:Clarify Similarly, if set to "left" (when float also is set to "left"), the box will be pushed to the left margin of the page.
• pre, pre2, pre3 ... up to pre10 – can be used to show some text before the shortcut links, but within the braces. This is mostly used to add the text "subst:". This shows the proper syntax for using the template with substitution.

As with the other shortcuts in the saved, rendered version of this template, this shortcut code can be copied from its line in the box on the documentation page, as it is, and pasted in the wikitext of another page where you wish its rendered version to appear.

• top – to change the padding above the box (e.g. |top=0 for no padding, |top=0.2em, |top=4模板:\|top=4px).

Examples of basic code

To display one template shortcut named {{uw-v1}}:

To display three template shortcuts for {{uw-vandalism1}} named {{uw-v1}}, {{uw-vand1}}, and {{uw-vandal1}}:

Example with the float parameter

Using |float=left makes this template flow to the left of the page:

{{template shortcut|float=left|uw-v1}}

Example with text ("subst:") within the braces

This is mostly used to add text to show how the template could be used with substitution.

Use |pre2=subst: and |pre3=subst: to show "subst:" before the shortcut links, but within the braces:

{{template shortcut|uw-v1|pre2=subst:|uw-vand1|pre3=subst:|uw-vandal1}}

See also

• {{shortcut}}, the standard shortcut notice.
  • {{shortcut-l}}, for a left-aligned standard shortcut notice.
• {{policy shortcut}}, for shortcuts to sections of policy pages.
• {{R to redirect template}}, the rcat template for redirects to rcat templates

Example with text ("subst:") within the braces

This is mostly used to add text to show how the template could be used with substitution.

Use |pre2=subst: and |pre3=subst: to show "subst:" before the shortcut links, but within the braces:

{{template shortcut|uw-v1|pre2=subst:|uw-vand1|pre3=subst:|uw-vandal1}}

This is the {{High-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation for templates used on more than 2000 pages.

For templates where the number of pages is more than 100,000 or if the first parameter is set as "risk" a stronger wording is given.

Note! It is normal that some of the links in the message box are red.

Usage

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use 模板:Tlf, like so:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first{{=}}first value|second|third{{=}}third value}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first=first value|second|third=third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=value''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Template|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in |. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single |... at the end of the parameter list.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really 模板:Em be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.

If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters

• If the only parameter supplied is 模板:Param, i.e. a template's name, 's output is the same as  – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tl}}
  • 模板:Tc produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tl}}

will also not take nor display additional parameters.

Named parameters

|subst=

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example, {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlx|Welcome|3=subst=Y}} produces: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|Welcome|subst=Y}}. This is similar to the action of the {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs}} template: {{tlx模板:\sandbox|tlxs|Welcome}} produces: 模板:Tlxs.

|SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Documentation

{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{tl|x}}, {{tlp|x}} etc., with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as "模板:Thin space{模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space|模板:Thin space", "模板:Thin space}模板:Thin space" and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}, see {{tlw}}, which makes the click target bigger).

Usage

{{tlx|Templatename}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param=value}}

There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.

Examples

Note

At the en.wikipedia and Meta sites, X0, X1, X2, ... X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other sister projects.

The template can be used as is, and will automatically use bot-updated transclusion counts from subpages of Module:Transclusion_count/data/ when available. But it can also take some parameters:

• number of transclusions: The first parameter is either a static number of times the template has been transcluded, or the word "risk" (without quotes) to display "a very large number of" instead of the actual value. This value will be ignored if transclusion data is available for the current page (generally for templates with more than 2000 transclusions).

It will cause the number of transclusions to display as "#,###+" instead of "approximately #,###" when set equal to "yes" (without quotes).

模板:Sandbox other This template displays one or more of a template's shortcuts (that is, redirects, also known as aliases, as in the box appearing at the right. {{Tsh}} is a shortcut to this template, {{template shortcut}}, and can be used in its place, as it is in this documentation's source wikitext.

Usage

Place this template and its list of few to one, carefully selected shortcut(s) at the top of the template documentation page's wikitext, right underneath {{Documentation subpage}}. In the saved, rendered text, those shortcuts will appear in this template's Shortcut(s) box, whose title will reflect the number of list items by automatically being singular or plural in form.

Which ones to display here

Although the template can show up to ten shortcuts, you are encouraged to choose well which ones to display in this template's box. Even if many redirects exist, two or three at the most is almost always enough. By keeping the number of redirects presented in the Shortcut box small, it makes it easier to remember them, and the documentation is kept well organized.

Where to list any others

List others in the Redirects section of the template documentation. Again, not all of them need to be listed; some shortcuts are there just for historical reasons, and others differ only in minor points such as white spaces or capitalization. Such shortcut-name variations are unnecessary to list at all—just list the standard, most common version of such a variation.

Optional parameters

This template has several optional parameters:

• float – if set to "left", then the box will float to the left of the page, instead of the default float "right".
• clear – if set to "right" (when float also is set to "right"), the box will be pushed to the right margin of the page, and 模板:Clarify Similarly, if set to "left" (when float also is set to "left"), the box will be pushed to the left margin of the page.
• pre, pre2, pre3 ... up to pre10 – can be used to show some text before the shortcut links, but within the braces. This is mostly used to add the text "subst:". This shows the proper syntax for using the template with substitution.

As with the other shortcuts in the saved, rendered version of this template, this shortcut code can be copied from its line in the box on the documentation page, as it is, and pasted in the wikitext of another page where you wish its rendered version to appear.

• top – to change the padding above the box (e.g. |top=0 for no padding, |top=0.2em, |top=4模板:\|top=4px).

Examples of basic code

To display one template shortcut named {{uw-v1}}:

To display three template shortcuts for {{uw-vandalism1}} named {{uw-v1}}, {{uw-vand1}}, and {{uw-vandal1}}:

Example with the float parameter

Using |float=left makes this template flow to the left of the page:

{{template shortcut|float=left|uw-v1}}

Example with text ("subst:") within the braces

This is mostly used to add text to show how the template could be used with substitution.

Use |pre2=subst: and |pre3=subst: to show "subst:" before the shortcut links, but within the braces:

{{template shortcut|uw-v1|pre2=subst:|uw-vand1|pre3=subst:|uw-vandal1}}
