This is another template link style template by Grufo with additional functionality that does not appear to actually have a use case. This is completely unused outside of documenting it's own existence, and appears to exist more to find a use for a parameter processing module than serving an actual need.
This template is essentially identical in functionality to {{ tlp}}, but it automatically numbers any unnamed parameters and sorts any named parameters alphabetically. The template link style templates are mainly used in internal discussions and documentation, it therefore makes very little sense to be using lua modules to change the ordering or formatting of the parameters - as doccumentation/explanation they should appear as written in the author. The whole point of unnamed parameters is that you can omit the "1=" part of the template argument, so it makes no sense to indiscriminately add the parameter names in documentation. The sorting of named parameters alphabetically is highly unlikely to result in a useful/sensible parameter ordering, e.g. would you demonstrate a time/date processing template with the parameters ordered "Day, Hour, Minute, Month, Second, Year"? This is unused, has features that are not useful and is redundant to other templates - as such it should be deleted. 192.76.8.66 ( talk) 02:10, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

[...] by adding the parameter numbers to the input of {{ tlp}} or similar, there is no reason to be adding parameter numbers with LUA”: The {{ tlp}} template uses Lua as much as {{ tlnp}} does. Writing numbers automatically is precisely the ultimate purpose of {{ tlnp}} and has few to do with Lua – if you tolerated (strong) limitations this template could be rewritten in pure wikitext as well. Its motivation comes from the fact that writing numbers manually is infamously error-prone. For instance, look at the documentation of {{ Module link}}; it contains the following example: {{ ml
Rather than trying to retroactively "fix" this in lua”: Once again, the {{ tlp}} template uses Lua as much as {{ tlnp}} does. Nobody will force you to rely on machines to do the counting for you, but I would advise you to do so when you edit a public resource like Wikipedia. -- Grufo ( talk) 12:22, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Doing the same thing”? Could you elaborate in which way this template would be similar to {{ tlap}} (in its purpose, aim, use case, utility, and so on)? How can a template whose primary purpose is that of displaying parameter numbers be “doing the same thing” as a template that does not display parameter numbers? -- Grufo ( talk) 19:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
