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

Usage

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

Parameter

|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 (:). Supported range is from −40 to 40.

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

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

Displays as:

Original conversation.
Afterthought.
Continuation of original conversation.
