Threading of replies on talk pages is done using indentation and lists. This template is used for outdenting a reply on a talk page when indentation gets too deep.

Usage

Template:Tlc or Template:Tlc. Integer examples: Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc. Indentation examples: Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc.

Parameters

|1=indent
Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain : (indents), * (unnumbered list), and # (numbered list). It is recommended to copy the colons, asterisks, and hashes from the start of the previous message. An integer value is interpreted as number or indents (:). Magnitude of a negative integer specifies the width of indentation (same as positive integer with |reverse=y). Default value is 10. Supported range is from −40 to 40.
|2=y
Set it to add a link to Wikipedia:Indentation#Outdenting. Template:Tlc produces:
|r=y (aliases |reverse=y, |indent=y, |in=y)
Reverses the outdentation to become indentation and vice versa.

Examples

With indentation wikitext

:::: Previous post, indented with four colons.
{{outdent|::::}} New post.

Displays as:

Previous post, indented with four colons.
New post.

Positive integer

:::::: Previous post, indented 6 levels.
{{outdent|6}} New post.

Displays as:

Previous post, indented 6 levels.
New post.

With separate indent

To not outdent all the way to the left margin, indent the Template:Tl template itself using colons:

:::::: Previous post, indented 6 levels.
:: {{outdent|4}} New post.

Displays as:

Previous post, indented 6 levels.
New post.

Indent

Using |reverse=y:

:::::: Previous post, indented 6 levels.
:: {{outdent|4}} Start of a new post indented 2 levels using a bar of length 6 − 2 = 4.
:: {{outdent|5|reverse=yes}}
::::::: Indent to indentation level 7 using a reversed bar of length 7 − 2 = 5.

Displays as:

Previous post, indented 6 levels.
Start of a new post indented 2 levels using a bar of length 6 − 2 = 4.
Indent to indentation level 7 using a reversed bar of length 7 − 2 = 5.

Or with a negative integer:

:::::: Original conversation.
:::::: {{outdent|-3}}
::::::::: Afterthought.
::::::: {{outdent|2}}
::::::: Continuation of original conversation.

Displays as:

Original conversation.
Afterthought.
Continuation of original conversation.
