 | This template is used on approximately 247,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages. |
This template creates example usage syntax for a template, and links the name to the template page. The name is derived from "Template list expanded".
Up to 7 pass parameters (numbered) for the specified template are displayed as "placeholders", and more parameters are shown as "|...". An optional SISTER parameter can specify an interwiki prefix to link to another wiki. Examples:
