About everything. The author of the template you quote doesn't know  a
lot more about templates than you. If you want to store information in
a linked list, use the list template from the Standard C++ Library.

Yes, the right way would be 
TLinkedList List;
if  you  want  to  put  ints into your list (and analogously for other
element types).
Use 
list myList;
instead. If your library doesn't contain the list  template,  you  can
download  it  from  the  Internet (look for STL, the Standard Template
Library).
