|"Tl" stands for "template link". It displays a template name as a link surrounded by braces (curly brackets), thus showing how the template should be typed. You will find the template useful when writing instructions and to talk about templates on talk pages.
|align=center|<tt><nowiki>{{tl|Welcome}}</nowiki></tt>
|align=center|{{tl|Welcome}}

|- valign=top
|align=center bgcolor=silver|'''<nowiki>{{Tltt}}</nowiki>'''
|"Tltt" stands for "template link with tooltip". The template is like {{tl|Tl}}, but allows you to state a tooltip for each template. A tooltip is a line of text that is shown when you use your [[computer mouse]] to move the [[cursor]] over the template name. (Try it here: {{tltt|tltt|Template link with tooltip}}!) The template lets you explain more about a template.
|align=center|<tt><nowiki>{{tltt|Welcome|Here's the tooltip text!|par=p1=1st parameter|</nowiki><br><nowiki>par2=p2=2nd parameter}}</nowiki></tt>
|align=center|{{tltt|Welcome|Here's the tooltip text!|par=p1=1st parameter|par2=p2=2nd parameter}}

|- valign=top
|align=center bgcolor=silver|'''<nowiki>{{Tltts}}</nowiki>'''
|This template is the same as {{tl|Tltt}}, except that it is [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|substituted]].
|align=center|<tt><nowiki>{{subst:tltts|Welcome|Here's the tooltip text!|par=p1=1st parameter|par2=p2=2nd parameter}}</nowiki></tt>
|align=center|{{tltt|Welcome|Here's the tooltip text!|par=p1=1st parameter|par2=p2=2nd parameter}}
