Category:Template linking templates

This category contains template linking templates – templates that produce a formatted link to another template, usually displaying the template name inside double curly braces ({{...}}). They are used primarily on documentation, help, and discussion pages to refer to templates without actually transcluding them.

Purpose

These templates make it easy to write {{template name}} in a readable, linked format. They help avoid accidental transclusion and improve documentation clarity.
