Template:High-risk
 | As with other interwiki links, if you misspell your link target, the link will still appear blue, not red. Check spelling carefully. |
Template:Tlb links to a "Category:" name in the Wikimedia Commons repository. If that category name is misspelled or missing, the link will still appear "blue" even though the link will fail. Check spelling of names carefully. Template:Tsh Template:Tracks Wikidata
Usage
Template:Tl2 – Puts link-box connecting title catnam Template:Tl2 – Puts link-box showing the title shownam Template:Tl2 – Floats link-box to the left side, as option to align box to left-margin
The two parameters catnam and shownam (1 & 2) are optional, and are intended for cases where the Commons category name is different from the WikiLists page name. The first parameter is the name of the corresponding category on the Wikimedia Commons, without the "Category:" prefix. If this first parameter is used, then the template will display the Commons category name, which may be confusing to readers. This text can be overridden by the second parameter, where the WikiLists page name would typically be used.

Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Polar bears |
For example, on the Polar bear page, Script error: No such module "Template link general". produces a link to Commons:Category:Ursus maritimus displayed as "Polar bears".
The parameter |position= accepts one value, |position=left, that moves the box to the left side, instead of the default right side. More information may be found at Template:Side box.
Location
If using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different sister template.
Template:Cross Do not place this template in a section all by itself without floating left.
Template:Cross Do not place this template in a section containing columns without floating left.
In articles, this template should be placed at the top of the last section on the page. On disambiguation pages, this template is usually placed at the top of the page. See WikiLists:WikiLists sister projects#Where to place links for more information and alternatives.
In categories, this template should be grouped with other templates at the beginning of the category introduction. This avoids unnecessary white space as any text is floated around the template boxes.
