This template creates a cross-reference which points readers to the corresponding [[wikipedia:WP:Outline|outline]] article.

== Usage ==

Basic usage:

{{in5}}{{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}

This will create an indented and italicized cross-reference like the following:

{{in5}}''For a topical guide, see [[Outline of the Cayman Islands]].''

The template should automatically detect the correct title of the outline article, as long as it has been named in one of the more common patterns for such articles (check the link to be sure it worked). If the template doesn't detect the correct name automatically, then add it in manually like this:

{{in5}}{{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{var|Title of outline article}}}}

Don't [[wikipedia:WP:Link|wikilink]] the parameter; the template will do this for you.

=== Placement ===
Sometimes used as a [[wikipedia:WP:Hatnote|hatnote]] at the top of an article or section, the template can (like {{tl|Further information}}, {{tl|Detail}}, etc.) also be used below a narrative section, or below a list in some other format.

== See also ==
* {{tl|For timeline}} – similar pointer to a [[wikipedia:WP:Timeline|timeline]] article or section on the topic
* {{tl|Main}} – pointer to the main article on a topic
* {{tl|Main list}} – pointer to the main [[wikipedia:WP:Stand-alone list|{{em|list}} article]] on a topic (usually one for which there are multiple hierarchical or subtopical lists)
