{{tlc}} is used to reference templates on Talk pages etc.
Use of it generates a link to the template, wrapped in <code>{{ }}</code> and thus looking like an invocation of the template. For a version without code tags, see {{tl}}. For a version without code tags or brackets, see {{tln}}.
Usage
The template takes two parameters : {{tlc|name|arguments}}.
- required — The name of the template to be linked to.
- optional — Any parameters which should be shown in the example call to the template. Separate multiple parameters with
{{!}}rather than|.
