Purpose
Template:Tl is how you insert colorized text. You can specify its background color at the same time.
Template:Tlc is also how you can color wikilinks to something other than blue for when you need to work within background colors. Normally [[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein]] produces Wikipedia:Albert Einstein, but here we use a font color with |link= to create a black wikilink → Wikipedia:Albert Einstein. You can make any text link to any page using the |link= parameter.
This template uses the latest HTML5 recommendations, inserting the span tags <span style=color:color>...</span> and <span style=background-color:color>...</span>, so the page increases its readability and usability in both the wikitext and the rendered page.
Usage
Template:Tl has a one-color and a two-color form:
Either form has a |link= option, for colorizing (otherwise blue or red) wikilink text:
|link=yesproduces[[text]]|link=Wikipedia:Albert Einsteinproduces[[Albert Einstein]]
You can also name the other fields:
You can name |fg= or |bg=, which is nice, but if you name either of them, you must also name |text=, which is a compromise.

The |link= parameter is a good way to colorize wikilinks, and it is about as much typing as the pipe trick.
Although a wikilink accepts a font color (or other template or markup):
[[Wikipedia:Example|{{font color|white|blue|the Wikipedia:Example page}}]]produces the Wikipedia:Example page (a font-colored link)- Template:Tnull does not accept a wikilink, it creates wikilinks itself with
|link=. - ✓ Template:Tlc produces Wikipedia:Example
- ✗ Template:Tlc produces the Wikipedia:Example page (text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)
