---->Templates {{tl|1}}, {{tl|2}}, {{tl|3}}, etc. warn readers/editors that a [[Typographical error|typo]] exists in the page they are reading/editing. If {{tnull|{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}}} is called, you probably meant the parameter {{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}} (as <nowiki>{{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}<nowiki>}}}</nowiki> with triple braces), but in fact only double braces were used, invoking <nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>. In addition to a warning, it also adds pages to [[:Category:Templates with incorrect parameter syntax]]. For more information on how template parameters work, see [[mw:Help:Templates#Parameters]].<br />
<br />
However, the most problems have been caused by omitting the first brace "{" of a parameter and getting <nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}<nowiki>}}}</nowiki>, as invoking Template:{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}} +"}" rather than parameter {{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}. This can be an insidious problem, especially when the transclusion of Template:{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}} is hidden, so that the effect is invisible to the person editing a page. For that reason, Template:{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}} now issues a warning to the user.<br />
<br />
With that warning, the prior invisible access to Template:{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}} can now be understood to be a formerly unseen problem coded within a page.<br />
<br />
:''Note'': this will also pick up several variations such as <nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}<nowiki>|}}</nowiki> for <nowiki>{{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}|<nowiki>}}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{{</nowiki>{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>.<br />
<br />
Periodically, people check {{ql|Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:{{TEMPLATENAME}}|qs=&hidelinks=1&hideredirs=1|what-links-here}} to see if anyone has accidentally invoked Template:{{{1|{{TEMPLATENAME}}}}}.<br />
