{{tln}}

Usage

Template link normal

This template creates a normal template link with [[Template: prefixing the template name and ]] suffixing the template name:

{{tln|Example}} --> Template:Example

{{tln|tln}} --> Template:tln

An alternative to this template is Template:tl which produces the link with {{ before it and }} after it. If you need a version with talk, history and other links see Template:lt.
