{{ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Template link general }}
This template uses Lua :
This template, often abbreviated as {{tlg}} , is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.
With the exception of alttext , the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below ). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

Note
On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2, …, X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects. Code Output Remarks {{tlg |Banner}} {{Banner }} Banner template does not exist.
