Explanation

This template is a general template for inserting a template link.

copy of {{tlb}} except that it uses a non-proportional, monospaced font instead of normal text:

Code Result Remark
{{tlxb|Template name}} Template:Tlxb
{{tlxb|Template name|parameter1|parameter2}} Template:Tlxb
{{tlxb|Template name|parm1|parm2{{=}}foo}} Template:Tlxb Equal signs need to be escaped using {{=}}.
{{tlxb}} Template:Tlxb This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked.
{{tlxb|SISTER=m:|3x}} Template:Tlxb Link to page on another wiki.

I.e., it's a {{tl}}-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's main use is in distinguishing between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.

The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use {{tlu}} instead).
