The template {{temp}} is intended for use on talk pages and areas of Wiktionary that describe the markup language of wikitext. It displays the name of another template or template-like parser construct, linked for convenience, and wrapped in <code> tags.

Syntax

{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]name of template|...}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]namespace:pagename|...}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#invoke:module name|...}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#parser function:...[|...]}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:]VARIABLE}}

• The template automatically detects non-template namespaces, substitutions, magic words and parser functions; the syntax is identical to the one accepted by the MediaWiki parser. For example, inclusion from mainspace uses the : prefix.
• Using the {{#invoke:}} parser function with a valid module name creates a link to the module. Likewise, using {{#tag:}} with a valid parser extension tag links to the tag's documentation.
• If this template is given non-numeric named arguments, they will be displayed as arguments to the template; however, no particular order is guaranteed.
• To force a particular order, or to display an equals sign in an explicitly named numeric parameter, you may use the following methods:
  • Use = (or =) to code the equal sign.
  • Wrap the parameter assignment (or just the = character) in <nowiki> tags.
  • Make explicit numeral assignments corresponding with numbered parameters starting from 2.
• Previous versions of this template had an interwiki functionality; this feature has been dropped. Links to templates on sister wikis should be formatted manually.
