This template uses Lua:

Module:Template

{{tlx|template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|etc}} becomes →
{{template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|etc}}

Purpose and naming: Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... named after {{tl}} 'Template list'

Usage

{{Tlx/sandbox|template name}}

{{Tlx/sandbox|template name|param}}

{{Tlx/sandbox|template name|param=value}}

This template takes a template-name and an optional number of associated parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and aggregates them into an 'example demonstration' of how the template might be used. It's primary use is in instruction and documentation such as this passage.
Additionally, tlx can be used to demonstrate templates on other sister projects.
