This template is used for showing templates and their properties in a table.

Usage

There are three related templates:

  • {{tlrowtop}}— Start the template list
  • {{tlrow}}— Template row entry
  • {{end}}— End the list

The template requires one unnamed parameter for the name of the template:

Optional parameters

  • |category= adds a link to the template category.
  • |notes= adds notes.
  • |demolevel= allows protection templates to be displayed even when the page is not protected; use sysop or autoconfirmed depending on the template.
  • |subst= allows bypassing of the substitution check on some substitute only templates; use nosubst as the value.

Category suppression

Some templates automatically place the page where it is used into a category. These categories are not appropriate for pages such as lists, so some templates support a feature to suppress the automatic category. This template automatically invokes category suppression for templates that use these methods:

  • |nocat=true
  • |category=
  • |categories=no
