Template:Color/doc

Note: This template is used on a lot of pages. In order not to put too much load on the servers, edits should be kept to a bare minimum. Please discuss proposed changes on the talk page first.

• Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the servers since it fills up the job queue.
• Keep in mind that templates that are used on file description pages also show up on other wikis.

This subpage contains documentation, categories, or other content that is not part of the template.

To draw just a color box with bg-color, use it like

• {{Color|1=#F0F|2=XX|bg=#F0F}} → XX   or   {{Color||{{0|00}}|bg=#0a0}} → 00   or   the shortest form {{Cbox|#CCC}} → 00

To just tooltip a text, use it like
The <u>{{color|#000|underlined text|title=tooltip example}}</u> is ''{{W|tooltip}}ped'' : 0 The underlined text is tooltipped.

It is also possible to define additional CSS data, e.g.
{{color|b|'''padded box'''|bg=#CFC|css=border:2px dotted #F80;padding:0 8px|title=CSS example}} → padded box
