Um, basically, the use of the template is as follows: Adding {{tl|Wikipedia}} creates a link to an article with the same name at Wikipedia with the link caption being the page's name. Adding {{tlp|Wikipedia|Article Name}} produces a link to Article Name with the link caption Article Name . Adding a second parameter, an article caption {{tlp2|Wikipedia|Article Name|Caption}} produces a link to Article_Name with a caption of Caption.

Use this template to link to an article at Wikipedia. There shouldn't be much overlap, but if there is, use this template.


Um, basically, the use of the template is as follows: Adding {{Wikipedia}} creates a link to an article with the same name at Wikipedia with the link caption being the page's name. Adding {{Wikipedia|Article Name}} produces a link to Article Name with the link caption Article Name . Adding a second parameter, an article caption {{Wikipedia|Article Name|Caption}} produces a link to Article_Name with a caption of Caption. The caption can be anything you want, for example {{Wikipedia|YTMND|The best site ever}} produces
