Template:Warning


Purpose

{{ Font color }} is how you insert colorized text, such as red, orange, green, blue and indigo, and many others. You can specify its background color at the same time.

{{ Font color }} is also how you can color wikilinks to something other than blue for when you need to work within background colors. Normally [[ wikilink ]] → wikilink, but but here we use a {{ font color }} with |link = to create a black wikilink →    wikilink    You can make any text link to any page using the |link= parameter.

This template will use the latest Wikipedia:HTML5 recommendations, inserting the span tags <span style=color:color>...</span> and <span style=background-color:color>...</span> for you, so your page increases its readability and usability in both the wikitext and the rendered page.

Usage

{{Font color}} has a one-color and a two-color form:

{{font color | color | text }}
{{font color | text color | background color | text }}.

Either form has a |link= option, for colorizing (otherwise blue or red) wikilink text.

|link=yes → [[text]]
|link=fullpagename → [[fullpagename]]

You can also name the other fields.

{{font color | fg=color | text=text }}
{{font color | fg=text color | bg=background color | text=text }}

You can name |fg= or |bg=, which is nice, but... if you name either of them, you must also name |text=, which is a compromise. (See Help:Template#Parameters for why.)

Spacing is of no concern.

.{{font color|tan|green|text with four words}}. → .text with four words.
. {{font color|tan|green|text with four words}} . → . text with four words .
. {{ font color | tan | green | text with four words }} . → . text with four words .

Parameters

Use / description Default value
{{{1}}} text color inherited
{{{2}}} text
link =yes or =fullpagename
Or
Use / description Default value
{{{1}}} text color inherited
{{{2}}} background color inherited
{{{3}}} text
link =yes or =fullpagename

Examples

Markup Renders as
{{ font color | green | green text }} green text
{{ font color | blue | do not style text as a link }} do not style text as a link
{{ font color | white | black | white with black background }} white with black background
{{font colorTemplate:Bigyellow | default text in yellow background }} default text in yellow background
{{font colorTemplate:Bigbg=yellow | text=default text in yellow background }} default text in yellow background
Markup Renders as
{{ font color | white | blue | Wikipedia:Example | link = yes }} Wikipedia:Example
{{ font color | white | blue | Wikipedia:Example | link = Wikipedia:Sandbox }} Wikipedia:Example
{{ font color | text = Wikipedia:Example | link = Wikipedia:Sandbox | bg = blue | fg = white }} Wikipedia:Example

The |link= parameter is a good way to colorize wikilinks, and it is about as much typing as the pipe trick.

Although a wikilink's label will accept any template, Template:Big Wikipedia:Example | {{font color | white | blue | Wikipedia:Example }} Template:Big → Wikipedia:Example (a font-colored link), this template does not accept a wiklink, it only provides |link=:
