{{tl|tlg}} (abbreviating "[t]emplate [l]ink {{small|(with)}} [g]eneral {{small|(options)}}") is a generalised version of the {{tl|tl}} ("template link") template. It can be used to replace or implement {{tlf|tl}} and related templates such as {{tl|tlb}}, {{tl|tlx}}, etc.

===Parameters===
; {{big|Named}}
With the exception of {{mono|alttext}}, {{tlf|tlg}}'s named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc). They may be included in any order (see Examples below):
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter || Action || As in
|-
| braceinside || Include innermost braces as part of the template link || {{tl|tlw}}
|-
| bold<br/>boldlink<br/>boldname || Renders the template link/name in '''bold''' || {{tl|tlb}} {{tl|tlx}} etc.
|-
| code || Display output using the ([[Monospaced font|monospaced]]) HTML <nowiki><code></nowiki> formatting || {{tl|tlc}} {{tl|tlx}} etc.
|-
| italic<br/>italics || Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in ''italic/s'' || {{tl|tlxi}}
|-
| nolink || Don't render the template name as a link || {{tl|tln}}
|-
| nowrap || Prevent the insertion of line breaks ([[word wrap]]) in the output ||
|-
| subst || Include a [[Help:Substitution|subst:]] prefix before the template link/name || {{tl|tls}}
|-
| <nowiki>|alttext=[text]</nowiki> || Use [text] as the label for the template link || {{tl|tla}}
|}

; {{big|Unnamed}}
{{tlf|tlg}} may take up to ten unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.

===Examples===
{{#switch:{{SITENAME}} |Wikipedia|Meta= |
; Note: On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, '''X0, X1, X2, …, X9 are sandbox templates''' for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.
