{{lt|module link expanded}} (often abbreviated <nowiki>{{mlx}}</nowiki>) is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the {{((}}#invoke{{))}} [[WP:PF|parser function]], thus showing the module name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a module by name without invoking it. It is also supports the definition of a function and parameters.

|-
| {{tji|mlx|Example}}
| {{mlx|Example}}
| Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.
|-
| {{tji|mlx|Example|hello}}
| {{mlx|Example|hello}}
| Usage with a function name.
|-
| {{tji|mlx|Example|count_fruits|4{{=}}bananas{{=}}5|5{{=}}apples{{=}}10}}
| {{mlx|Example|count_fruits|4=bananas=5|5=apples=10}}
| Usage with a function name and parameters.
