== Linking to a template == <!--T:133-->

<!--T:158-->
A template page can be linked to like any other wiki page. For example, the link <tvar name=navbarlink>[[Template:Navbar]]</tvar> is generated using the wikicode <tvar name=navbarcode><code><nowiki>[[Template:Navbar]]</nowiki></code></tvar>.
</translate>

<translate><!--T:159--> On many wikis, <tvar name=1>[[Template:Tl]]</tvar> can be used to provide a link to a template formatted in a way that shows the "double curly-braces" wikicode necessary to transclude the template without actually doing the tranclusion.</translate>
<translate><!--T:469--> For example, the code <tvar name=2><code><nowiki></nowiki></code></tvar> may be used to create the link <tvar name=3></tvar>.</translate>

<translate><!--T:160--> This construct is commonly used when referring to templates in template documentation, on help pages, and on talk pages.</translate>
<translate><!--T:186--> The same effect can be achieved by using <tvar name=1><code><nowiki></nowiki></code></tvar>, but the <tvar name=2><code></code></tvar> approach involves much less typing.</translate>
<translate><!--T:187--> On any given wiki the Tl template, if it exists, may or may not render the text in a "code" element or as monospace type.</translate>
<translate><!--T:188--> If not (as on this wiki), another similarly named template may do so.</translate>
<translate><!--T:189--> See, for example, the [[<tvar name=1>Template:Tl#See also</tvar>|"See also" section of our Template:Tl documentation]].</translate>
