Explanation

{{tlg (template link, general) is a general template for inserting a template link. It can be used to replace or implement any of the more specific {{tl*}} templates, e.g. {{tl, {{tlx or {{tlb. Parameters are:

bold=yes : Boldface the text, like for {{tlb and {{tlxb italic=yes : Italicizes the parameters, like for {{tlxi tt=yes : Use a monospaced font, like for {{tlx and {{tlxb code=yes : Use the <code>...</code> HTML attribute (usually a monospaced font), like for {{tlc nolink=yes : Don't insert a template link, like for {{tlf, {{tld, and {{tlc anypage=yes : Allow linking to arbitrary page (not just template), as with {{tlu braceinside=yes : Put braces inside the link, like for {{tn subst=yes : Add a subst: prefix, like for {{tls alttext=FOO : Specify alternative surface text for a link, like for {{tla Examples [padéccéng pabbéré] Code Result Remark {{Tlg|Abc {{Abc}} {{Tlg|ABC {{ABC}} {{Tlg|AbC {{AbC}} {{Tlg|x0 {{x0}} {{Tlg|x0|bold=yes {{x0}} {{Tlg|x1|one|italic=yes {{x1|one}} {{Tlg|x0|code=yes {{x0}} {{Tlg|x0|tt=yes {{x0}} {{Tlg|x0|nolink=yes {{x0}} {{Tlg|x0|subst=yes {{subst:x0}} {{Tlg|x0|braceinside=yes {{x0}} {{Tlg|x0|alttext=Link to x0 template {{Link to x0 template}} {{Tlg|x0|anypage=yes {{x0}} Now the expression links to x0 (the spaceship, genetic disease, etc.) rather than Template:x0.
