{{subst:Template:Template link expanded with subst}}
This template is used on approximately 3,900 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template uses Lua: |
This template, often abbreviated as {{tlxs}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.

- Note
