{{tlp}} | {{tlp|...}} | Shows its own syntax.
|
{{tlp|name}} | {{name}} |
|
{{tlp|name|first}} | {{name|first}} |
|
{{tlp|name|first|last}} | {{name|first|last}} |
|
{{tlp|name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j}} | {{name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h}} | Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped.
|
{{tlp|name||three|four}} | {{name||three|four}} | Also shows empty parameters.
|
{{tlp|name||three|}} | {{name||three|}} | Even shows empty parameters that come at the end.
|
{{tlp|name|first=a|last=b}}
| {{name}}
| Equal signs are a problem, but there are a couple ways to fix:
|
{{tlp|name|2=first=a|3=last=b}}
| {{name|first=a|last=b}}
| Use numbered parameters to fix it. Here, parameter "|2=" is assigned the string "first=a". Start with #2, since "name" is already in the "|1=" slot. Note that all subsequent parameters after a numbered parameter must also be numbered.
|
{{tlp|name|first{{=}}a|last{{=}}b}}
| {{name|first=a|last=b}}
| Or, simply use, "{{=}}", the equal-sign template, to "escape" the symbol.
|
{{tlp|name|2=1=a|3=2=b}}
| {{name|1=a|2=b}}
| Both techniques also work with numbered positional parameters (e.g.: "|1=", "|2=").
|
{{tlp|name|2=1=a|last{{=}}b}}
| {{name|last=b}}
| The named parameter ("|last=") clobbered the prior one ("|2="). Again, all subsequent parameters after a numbered parameter must also be numbered...
|
{{tlp|name|2=1=a|3=last=b}}
| {{name|1=a|last=b}}
| ... but that's easy to fix, by adding the position number ("|3=") to the last parameter.
