The purpose of this template is to gain the value of a template's parameter (named or numbered) in an article, for usage elsewhere. For example, gaining the value of the {{para|num_episodes}} parameter in the {{tl|Infobox television}} template in an article, to use in another article.

This template works with named or numbered parameters; i.e. it can get the first parameter of {{tl|Start date}} (the year). This template is case-sensitive; i.e. setting {{para|Viewers}} will not match {{para|viewers}}. Make sure that you are listing the article where the template exists, not where it's transcluded to.

== Usage ==
{{tlx|Template parameter value|{{Var|article}}|{{Var|template}}|{{Var|template count}}|{{Var|parameter}}|{{Var|parameter count}}}}

== Examples ==
24th usage of {{para|OriginalAirDate}} in the 3rd usage of {{tl|Episode table}} in [[List of Lucifer episodes]]:
* {{tlx|Template parameter value|List of Lucifer episodes|Episode table|3|OriginalAirDate|24|_show_result=yes}}

2nd usage of {{para|archive-url}} in the 1st usage of {{tl|Series overview}} in [[List of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes]]:
* {{tlx|Template parameter value|List of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes|Series overview|<nowiki/>|archive-url|2|_show_result=yes}}

1st usage of {{para|LineColor}} in the 2nd usage of {{tl|Episode list/sublist}} in [[Vikings season 4]]:
* {{tlx|Template parameter value|Vikings season 4|Episode list/sublist|2|LineColor|_show_result=yes}}

1st usage of {{para|num_episodes}} in the 1st usage of {{tl|Infobox television}} in [[12 Monkeys (TV series)]]:
* {{tlx|Template parameter value|12 Monkeys (TV series)|Infobox television|<nowiki/>|num_episodes|_show_result=yes}}

3rd parameter in the 8th usage of {{tl|Start date}} in [[The Big Bang Theory]]:
* {{tlx|Template parameter value|The Big Bang Theory|Start date|8|3|_show_result=yes}}

1st parameter in the last usage of {{tl|date table sorting}} in [[List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches]]:
* {{tlx|Template parameter value|List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches|date table sorting|-1|1|_show_result=yes}}
