This template provides a list of links to a template. There are no restricted links (such as adding protection to the template). A link to a related module can be added.

(same effect:)
Adding link to a module

When an eponymous module exists, it is added:

  • {{T links|Track gauge}}
{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) · Module:Track gauge
  • Any other module (or none) can be linked:
  • {{T links|Track gauge}}
{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) · Module:string
  • {{T links|Track gauge|module=}}
{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) (blank so not linked)
Adding sandbox links

When working with the ../sandbox of templates, the sandbox links can be made explicit:

  • {{T links|Track gauge|sandboxlinks=yes}}
Track gauge/sandbox (edit · t · history · diff · links · /test · Source · e · t · hist · links · /subpages · /doc · /doc edit)
This can also help to prevent changing the live version code by accident.
Adding the WP:TPU-link
  • {{T links|Track gauge|tpu=yes}}
{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) TPU
