== Documentation ==

This template forms external links to TikTok photos. See also {{tl|ttv}} for links to TikTok videos, and the more generic {{tl|ttl}} for any kind of link to TikTok.

The name of the template is based on the phrase "{{tt|<u>t</u>ik<u>t</u>ok <u>p</u>hoto}}".

=== Usage ===

* {{tc-var|ttp|user name|photo number|text to be linked}}
* {{tc-namevar|ttp|u|user name|p|photo number|t|text to be linked|d|date uploaded}}
* {{tc-names|ttp|user|photo|text|date|accessed|sp=y}}
* {{tc-names|ttp|u|p|t|d|accessed|sp=y}}

These are the most common patterns. Other combinations of parameters are possible. Note that the user name must be specified and must start with the "{{code|@}}" character; that is not added automatically. (Alternatively, the parameter {{tp|@}} or {{tp|at}} can be set equal to the username without the leading "{{code|@}}".)

The {{tpvv|text to be linked}} (or the value of the {{tp|text}} or {{tp|t}} parameter) is typically chosen to be the (beginning of) the text portion of the post, but need not be. For similarity with [[Template:List of similar yt templates|other templates for YouTube]], the alternative parameter name {{tp|linktext}} can be used. If none of these are specified, appropriate default text will be used, as seen in the examples.

Use of the {{tp|accessed}} parameter triggers "citation" style formatting, where "TikTok" or "[username] on TikTok" is given as the source and the value of {{tp|accessed}} is used as the last-accessed date. See the examples below.

=== Examples ===

* {{tc|ttp|@mosarzm|7525971992001006878}} ⇒ {{ttp|@mosarzm|7525971992001006878}}
* {{tc|ttp|@mosarzm|7525971992001006878|a photo}} ⇒ {{ttp|@mosarzm|7525971992001006878|a photo}}
* {{tc|ttp|@mosarzm|7525971992001006878|Big announcement for you all|accessed{{=}}2025-09-08}} ⇒ {{ttp|@mosarzm|7525971992001006878|Big announcement for you all|accessed=2025-09-08}}

==== Errors ====

* {{tc|ttp}} ⇒ {{ttp}}
* {{tc|ttp{{!}}}} ⇒ {{ttp|}}
* {{tc|ttp|@mosarzm/photo/7525971992001006878|photo posted by Mery}} ⇒ {{ttp|@mosarzm/photo/7525971992001006878|photo posted by Mery}}

The first two examples just link to the TikTok homepage — but if you wanted to do that, you should have used {{tl|ttl}} instead. The third example accidentally uses the syntax of {{tl|ttl}}, resulting in a malformed link.
