One last thing: because so many templates are right-aligned, you can add a 3rd parameter (the position, with a default value of right-aligned). To have the template in its default state except for the positioning, don't put anything between the pipes. {{tlp3|Wikipedia|||left}} produces

Adding {{Wikipedia|Article_Name}} produces a link to Article_Name with the link caption Article_Name (as MediaWiki hates spaces). Adding a second parameter, an article caption {{Wikipedia|Article_Name|Article name}} produces a link to Article_Name with a caption of Article name.
