{{tsh|Tliw|Tl2}}
This is the {{tl|tl2}} template.

{{tlf|tl2}} is similar to {{tl|tl}}. '''Tl''' stands for '''T'''emplate '''l'''ink. {{tlf|tl2}} is a [[w:Macro (computer science)|macro]] [[m:Help:template|template]] used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.

{{tlf|tl2}} differs from {{tlf|tl}} in that it displays with a wider, monospaced text style (like {{tlf|tlx}}) and also takes the named parameters {{para|sister}} and {{para|lang}} so that it may also be used to list and link templates on other English and non-English-language sister projects.

==Related template==
{{tl|tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation and can also expand several placeholder parameters to generate a sample template call.

==Usage==
: {{tlx|tl2|''template_name''}}
:: equivalent to {{tlf|tl{{!}}''template_name''}}
: {{tlx|tl2 |sister{{=}}''sister_id'' |''template_name''}}
:: to display a template from a sister project (e.g. {{tlf|tl2 {{!}}sister{{=}}V {{!}}''template_name''}} for Wikiversity)
: {{tlx|tl2 |lang{{=}}''lang_id'' |sister{{=}}''sister_id'' |''template_name''}}
:: to display a template from a sister project in another language (e.g. {{tlf|tl2 {{!}}lang{{=}}fr {{!}}sister{{=}}V {{!}}''template_name''}} for a template from the French Wikisource project)

==Examples==
{| class=wikitable
! Code
! Result
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl|x0}}</nowiki></code>
| {{tl|x0}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl2|x1}}</nowiki></code>
| {{tl2|x1}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl2|sister=M|3x}}</nowiki></code>
| {{tl2|sister=M|3x}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{tl2|sister=wikibooks|lang=de|WP}}</nowiki></code>
| {{tl2|sister=wikibooks|lang=de|WP}}
|}
