This is the {{tl|utlp}} or '''user template link with parameters''' template.

It is based on the {{tl|tlp}} template, but does not link to template namespace.

It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a user-space template name would be used in code.

Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

:{{tlc|utlp|name|parameters}} = {{utlp|name|parameters}}

Features of {{tlp|utlp}}:
* It shows a transcluded page name with a link to that page.
* It shows up to eight parameters.
* It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
* It prevents [[line wrap]]s in its output.
* It uses normal text style. (While for instance {{tlx|tlx}} uses <code>teletype</code> text style.)

This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. See the [[#See also|see also]] section below for some of them. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. Then on the first occurrence of a template name use {{tl|tl}}, {{tlp|tlp}} or {{tlx|tlx}}, and then use {{tlf|tlf}}, {{tld|tld}} or {{tlc|tlc}}.

=== Examples ===

{| class="wikitable" style="background: transparent"
! Code !! Result !! Comment
|-
|-
| {{tlc|utlp}} || {{utlp}} || Shows its own syntax.
|-
| {{tlc|utlp|name}} || {{utlp|name}} ||
|-
| {{tlc|utlp|name|one}} || {{utlp|name|one}} ||
|-
| {{tlc|utlp|name|one|two}} || {{utlp|name|one|two}} ||
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{utlp|name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j}}</nowiki></code> || {{utlp|name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i}} || Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped.
|-
| {{tlc|utlp|name|||three|four}} || {{utlp|name|||three|four}} || Also shows empty parameters.
|-
| {{tlc|utlp|name|||three||}} || {{utlp|name|||three||}} || Even shows empty parameters that come in the end.
|-
| {{tlc|utlp|name|3=one=a|4=two=b}} || {{utlp|name|one=a|two=b}} || Equal signs is a problem, but there is a fix.
|-
| {{tlc|utlp|name|3=2=one=a|4=3=two=b}} || {{utlp|name|2=one=a|3=two=b}} || Use numbered parameters to fix it. Remember to start from 2, since the "name" is number 1.
|}
If you have equal signs in your template parameters then some find it simpler to code it using <code><nowiki></code> tags, or the <code>&#61;</code> or <code>&#x3D;</code> character references. Here's how to do that. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

:<code><nowiki>{{utlp|name|<nowiki>one=a|two=b</nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> = {{utlp|name|<nowiki>one=a|two=b</nowiki>}}
:{{tlc|utlp|name|one&#61;a|two&#61;b}} = {{utlp|name|one=a|two=b}}
