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.

-: Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain <code>:</code> (indents), <code>*</code> (unnumbered list), and <code>#</code> (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 (<code>:</code>). Magnitude of a negative integer specifies the width of ''in''dentation (same as positive integer with {{para|reverse|y}}). Default value is <code>10</code>. Supported range is from −40 to 40.

-: Set it to add a link to [[Wikipedia:Indentation#Outdenting]]. {{tlc|outdent|5|y}} produces:
-{{outdent|5|y}}
-; {{para|r|y}} (aliases {{para|reverse|y}}, {{para|indent|y}}, {{para|in|y}})
-: Reverses the outdentation to become indentation and vice versa.
