    Polandball Wiki
    Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

    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 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 Wikipedia:HTML5 recommendations, inserting the span tags Template:Tag and Template:Tag, so the page increases its readability and usability in both the wikitext and the rendered page.

    Usage

    Template:Tlf 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

    Template:Aligned table

    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 colorTemplate:Largeyellow | default text in yellow background }} default text in yellow background
    {{ font colorTemplate:Largebg=yellow | text = default text in yellow background }} default text in yellow background
    {{ font color | white | black | white with black background }} white with black background
    {{ font color | #ffffff | #000000 | white with black background }} ([[hexadecimal colors]]) white with black background (hexadecimal colors)
    {{ font color | rgb(255,255,255) | rgb(0,0,0) | white with black background }} white with black 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 accepts a font color (or other template or markup):

    Template:LargeWikipedia:ExampleTemplate:Large{{font color|white|blue|the Wikipedia:Example page}}Template:Large
    the Wikipedia:Example page (a font-colored link),

    a font color does not accept a wikilink, it creates wikilinks itself with |link=.
