Common usage: This template is one of a few typing-aid templates which are used primarily in the Template, Help and Main Namespaces.

When used in Template pages, they must be located inside the template documentation's
<noinclude> … </noinclude> block to automatically add the template to the category:Internal link sub-templates page.
When used in the any namespaces, each will take the parameter |cat= to override the default category listed below, and the 1st default parameter {{{1}}} to pipetrick the page to the string given by |1=string (the equivalent call form).

This is one of series of TrainzOnline typing-aid and auto-categorization templates most of which share the characteristics • a four letter mnemonic identifier • followed by `capital 'T'` as a middle character, • then another mnemonic as suffix.
