Module:Template link with magic

Shortcut

{{tlm}}

This template is an all-purpose double-brace linking template. The magic is implemented by Module:Template link with magic.

Usage

{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]name of template|...}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]namespace:pagename|...}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#invoke:module name|...}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#parser function:...[|...]}}
{{tlm|[[safe]subst:]VARIABLE NAME}}

{{tlm}} may be used for linking to templates, quasi-templates (pages transcluded from namespaces other than Template), modules (using the #invoke syntax), documentation of parser functions and variables (so-called "magic words"). subst: and other modifier prefixes and other are detected automatically and linked appropriately.

If this template is passed non-numeric named parameters, they will be displayed: {{tlm|unreferenced|date=July 2025}} renders as {{unreferenced|date=July 2025}}. No particular order of parameters is guaranteed, and it will not work for numeric parameters, even explicitly named ones: {{tlm|X0|2=2}} displays {{Template:Void|2}}.
