The purpose of this template is to gain the value of a template's named parameter in an article, for usage elsewhere. For example, gaining the value of the {{para|num_episodes}} parameter in the {{tl|Infobox television}} template in an article, to use in another article.

This template is case-sensitive; i.e. setting {{para|Viewers}} will not match {{para|viewers}}. This template also only works with named parameters; i.e. it cannot get the first parameter of {{tl|Start date}} (the year). Make sure that you are listing the article where the template exists, not where it's transcluded to.

===Syntax===

: <code><nowiki>{{Template parameter value|ARTICLE|TEMPLATE|TEMPLATE-COUNT|PARAMETER|PARAMETER-COUNT}}</nowiki></code>

=== Examples ===

Line 18:
