Different formatting
Why the different formatting depending on whether there are additional parameters? It makes pages like look weird.  Λυδ α cιτγ  05:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I though it make it easier to look at when there are parameters. → Aza Toth 18:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Vector issues
Under Monobook, this template produced the same font size as. Now, under Vector, it's much smaller in Firefox & Chrome, although larger in IE7: (Safari users report same size). -- Red rose64 (talk) 13:08, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've traced it to the generated HTML: tlx/tlu are formatted using  whereas tlsx/tlsu use  . -- Red rose64 (talk) 16:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Right, is now fixed, so let's see how the sandbox goes: . -- Red rose64 (talk) 21:39, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Meaning of the letters
What does "Tlsx" mean? Do those letters stand for something?  Blue Rasberry   (talk)   15:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * is one member of a whole family of templates used for linking to templates, the first of which was - tl stands for template link.  has limitations, such as the inability to show parameters, and so  was written as an extended version - Template Link eXtended. Both of these are for use with templates which are normally transcluded, but there are some templates which should normally be substituted. For these, the  template was produced - Template Link Subst, and like, it cannot show parameters. By combining the additional functions of  with the additional functions of  we get  - Template Link Subst eXtended. Note that there is another template which does almost the same job -  - Template Link eXtended Subst - the main difference is that it doesn't link  the prefix "subst:". I won't bother describing , , and the others - there are quite a few. In summary:
 * tl
 * {{subst:tls}}

Nomination for merging of Template:Tlxs
Template:Tlxs has been nominated for merging with Template:Tlsx. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. 70.24.248.23 (talk) 14:41, 29 November 2011 (UTC)


 * This template is now redundant (and inferior) to tlxs. Please redirect it there. You may also wish to protect tlxs per WP:HRT, since it will have an extra thousand transclusions or so. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done. Also finished merging, moved the tlxs documentation to a subpage, and protected it. Anomie⚔ 17:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Number of parameters
Does not seem to work with more than two parameters.

works, but truncates the third parameter. Is there something in RMtalk that says that there are only two parameters even though there are three? Apteva (talk) 17:09, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
 * No, it's because that parameter has an equals sign, so you need to number it explicitly. →  -- Red rose64 (talk) 18:01, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
