Template:Module rating

Usage

{{#invoke:Tlx|function_name|SISTER=sister project name}}

Implements a version of {{tlx}}, {{tlxs}}, {{tlxb}}, {{tlxi}}, {{tlxc}}, and {{temt}}.

{{tlx}} and {{temt}} use the function name tlx, {{tlxs}} uses tlxs, {{tlxb}} uses tlxb, {{tlxi}} uses tlxi, and {{tlxs}} uses tlx with Template:Para.

Generally, a call to this module can be placed at the front of a template call to display formatted code instead of the template output. For example, if this module is implemented at {{tlx/sandbox}}, a function call such as {{convert|1|m|disp=flip}} can be displayed as formatted text using the code {{tlx/sandbox|convert|1|m|disp=flip}}, which outputs Template:Tlx/sandbox.

This has the following caveats:

  • Template:Para, Template:Para, and Template:Para are reserved for compatibility with the legacy {{tlx}} template. In order to display {{x0|LANG=de|SISTER=wikt|subst=yes}} you would need to use workarounds from the old template such as {{tlx/sandbox|x0|<nowiki>LANG=en</nowiki>|SISTER{{=}}wikt|4=subst=yes}} to produce Template:Tlx/sandbox.
  • Parameters are presented in alphabetical order, starting with numbered parameters, regardless of input order. {{tlx/sandbox|x0|z=y|x=w|a|b}} displays Template:Tlx/sandbox
  • Since the Template:Para parameter is used for the template name, numbered parameters where the number is explicitly specified must be offset by one (as was true with the legacy {{tlx}} template): {{tlx/sandbox|x0|2=first|3=second|4=third=***}} produces Template:Tlx/sandbox.
  • NOTE: you must be careful not to double-define a parameter. {{tlx/sandbox|x0|first|2=second=**}} will output Template:Tlx/sandbox (and generate a warning) since the 2 parameter was defined twice. Use {{tlx/sandbox|x0|first|3=second=**}} to display Template:Tlx/sandbox.
  • To display the number of a numbered parameter explicitly, the same workarounds from the legacy template still work: {{tlx/sandbox|x0|<nowiki>1=first</nowiki>|2{{=}}second|4=3=third}} produces Template:Tlx/sandbox
