Purpose

What's this template for? --Joy [shallot] 11:04, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is an example template from meta:Help:Template. Initially used in examples in Template talk:If equal and Template talk:If equal g. (SEWilco 16:24, 20 July 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Little used

It appears that this template is little used and the name could possibly be put to better use. Does anyone even have this template watchlisted? (→Netscott) 19:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This template on Meta is hardly used either with only 43 links to it. (→Netscott) 19:32, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it seems little used. If it were renamed, {{t}} could become a redirect to {{tl}} (perhaps vice versa...?) and thereby mimic {{c}}. Regards, David Kernow (talk) 06:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to {{tl}}

As the demo version of this template is only referenced on meta (and is {{t0}} there), I'm replacing this template with a redirect to {{tl}} to reflect its actual use on most, if not all English Wikipedia pages. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 18:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

May the template's code be replaced with that in the sandbox (current as of this post), please?
It retains {{t}}'s primary role as if a redirect to {{tl}}, but, when its (first) parameter is |plain, mimics the template {{c}} used for categories. In other words, as {{c}} is to {{cl}}, {{t|plain}} would be to {{tl}}. Working examples on the testcases page. Sardanaphalus (talk) 20:17, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This looks a bit pointless to me. Surely if you need a plain link you can just type out the wikilink yourself? Bear in mind that this template is used on more than 200,000 pages, and often several times per page. We don't want to make it unnecessarily complicated. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 02:21, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts, perhaps yes, a piped wikilink isn't that much more complicated, otherwise use another template. (Is, then, {{c}} worthwhile..?) Sardanaphalus (talk) 08:53, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
