- REDIRECT Template:Parameter value
| This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
- From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized. |
__EXPECTSHORTPAGE__ | To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character. |
| {{tlx}} etc. | {{Template|1|2|...|10}} | To display a template call (with or without parameters and values) as code |
| {{tag}} | "The <img>...</img> tags ..." | To render HTML elements ("tags") in prose |
| {{code}}/{{codett}} | "Ensure the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">alt=</syntaxhighlight> parameter ..." | To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use <code>...</code>. {{codett}} differs only in styling: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">someMethod</syntaxhighlight> becomes <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="tpl-codett" style="border:none; padding: 0px 0px; color:var(--color-base, #202122); background:transparent; " inline="1">someMethod</syntaxhighlight> |

goes unpunished
| For block quotations (only – never for non-quotations) | | {{block indent}} | Hurry and succumb
