The language inside templates is the same language as regular wiki markup, but template writers tend to use the more complex available functions such as #if: statements. See Wikipedia's Help:Template and Wikimedia's mw:Help:Template , including all of "advanced functioning" help pages listed toward the bottom of that page .

(For example, the script with the code <code>Semap</code> has the name <code>"flag semaphore"</code>, which should remain lowercase when used as part of the category name [[:Category:Translingual letters in flag semaphore]] but should be capitalized in [[:Category:Flag semaphore templates]].)
Most templates allow authors to override the default text in this way, some require text put after the template call and some also need a vertical bar in between: {{table cell template}} text or {{table cell template}} | text. This information, the colors and default texts are found in the table below.
The remainder of the page source is enclosed between <noinclude> tags, so it shows up when you display the template page itself but not when you display a page that calls the template. To transclude Template:TM onto another page (i.e., to use it on another page), type {} into the source of that page (the target page) and click Show preview.

Template parameters [Edit template data]. This template prefers inline formatting of parameters. Parameter Description Type Status; module name: 1: the module name without the namespace prefix “Module:”, which is added automatically
Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options. If a row renders identically to a previous row, it means the current template does not support that option and {{ tlg }} needs to be used instead.
