Documentation

The name of this template is based on the phrase "template call with variable parameter values".

This template is used on a great many pages. Making any changes to it will cause lots of jobs to be added to the processing queue.

Usage

• {{tc-var|template name|description of parameter 1|description of parameter 2|…|add=}}

Up to 19 positional parameters can be described using this template. If you need more, or if you want to tack on additional parameters of a different type, you can use the add parameter (see below).

Examples

• {{tc-var}} ⇒ {{}}
• {{tc-var|}} ⇒ {{}}
• {{tc-var|code}} ⇒ {{code}}
• {{tc-var|code|content to be rendered as code}} ⇒ {{code|content to be rendered as code}}
• {{tc-var|wl|target|linktext}} ⇒ {{wl|target|linktext}}
• {{tc-var|ytv|ID|linktext|add={{pn|t|accessed}}}} ⇒ {{ytv|ID|linktext|t=|accessed=}}

Obviously, the first three examples are not very useful; they're just here for "completeness".

The last example shows how to use add along with {{pn}} (Template:Param-names) to include additional named parameters. Alternatively, {{pnv}}, {{pnvv}}, or {{pv}} could be used in place of {{pn}}, depending on what kind of formatting is desired.

Alias

• {{tc-vars}}
