When a Wikipedia article is large, it is often written in summary style. This template is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the sub-article that has been summarized. For Category namespace, please use Template:Tl instead.

Use of this template should be restricted to the purposes described above. It is not to be used as a substitute for inline links or Template:Tl template. The latter is used when the section expounds a specific aspect of the topic instead of summarizing its article. For example, in phthalate, the template under the "Endocrine disruptor" section should not be Template:Tlf, because the section specifically deals with phthalate as an endocrine disruptor and not endocrine disruptors in general.

Usage

Basic usage

Template:Tlf

All parameters

Template:((main | page1 | page2 | page3 | ... | l1 = label1 | l2 = label2 | l3 = label3 | ... | selfref = yesTemplate:))

Parameters

• 1, 2, 3, ... - the pages to link to. If no page names are specified, the current page name is used instead (without the namespace prefix). Categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
• l1, l2, l3, ...; optional labels for each of the pages to link to (this is for articles where a piped link would be used). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case 'L', for example, l1, not 11.
• selfref - if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to Wikipedia. See Template:Selfref for more information. This is only necessary in articles and other content (e.g. templates) that will appear in articles, and need not be added for uses of this template on Wikipedia: namespace pages.

Examples

• {{main|Article}} → Template:Main
• {{main|Article#Section}} → Template:Main
• {{main|Article#Section|l1=Custom section label}} → Template:Main
• {{main|Article1|Article2|Article3}} → Template:Main
• {{main|Article1|l1=Custom label 1|Article2|l2=Custom label 2}} → Template:Main
• {{main|(15760) 1992 QB1|l1={{mp|(15760) 1992 QB|1}}}} → Template:Main
