Template:Tn/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tn.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used similarly to {{tl}}, to show the name of a template with the open and close braces around it. But this macro makes the inner braces part of the link, whereas {{tl}} does not make the braces part of the link. This is to allow shorter template names to be easier to click on. The "Tn" name is short for Template name.
