The templates in this series are designed to be used in a [[Help:Table|table]] to make a cell with text in that cell, with an appropriately colored background. They are commonly used in [[:Category:Comparisons|comparison tables]]. Most of these templates should not be used simply to produce a background color, use them according to their meaning.

For example, {{Tl|yes}} makes a cell with a green background. The text in the cell is taken from the first [[Help:Template#Parameters|parameter]]; <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline=yes>{{yes|Sure}}</syntaxhighlight> would give "Sure" otherwise it defaults to "Yes". Most templates allow editors to override the default text using {{para|1}} or equivalent, some require text to be placed after the template call, and others may need a vertical bar ({{char|{{!}}}}) separating the two: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline=yes>{{table cell template}} text</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline=yes>{{table cell template}} | text</syntaxhighlight>. This information, the colors, and default texts are found in the table below.

{{Warnsign|Important:}} If you want to use other attributes for the table cells that do not appear in {{slink|#Code}} below, ''e.g.'' <code>colspan</code>, <code>rowspan</code>, or <code>style</code>, they need to be put before the template call, and there must be '''no vertical bar''' ({{char|{{!}}}}) in-between them, for example:

{| class=wikitable align=right style="margin-left:0.6em; margin-top:5px;"
!{{Yes}} ||{{No}} ||rowspan=2 {{n/a}}
|-
|colspan=2 style="border:solid 3px Maroon" {{Yes-No}}
|}
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="width:75%;">...
!{{Yes}} ||{{No}} ||rowspan=2 {{n/a}}

== Code ==
Common code to most if not all the templates in this series:
:<code>{{Table cell templates|class=''automatic''|text=''text''|bg=#''abcdef''}}</code>
<includeonly>Code specific to this template:
:<code>{{ {{#switch:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|doc={{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|-1}}|#default={{FULLPAGENAME}}}} }}</code>{{#if:{{{doc|}}}|<!-- force newline after nowiki tags --><nowiki></nowiki>
{{{doc}}}|<!-- no newline if there is no additional documentation -->}}</includeonly>

== Creating new templates ==
To make a new table cell template you can use:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline=yes>{{subst:Table cell templates|text= default text |bg= background color |class= a class name without prefix |align= standard horizontal alignment}}</syntaxhighlight>

You should leave out the <code>align</code> parameter and often the <code>class</code> parameter is unnecessary, too.

Add the new template to the table in the [[Template:Table cell templates/doc|common documentation]] afterwards. Please consider reusing one of the other templates and please choose the color sensibly.

If you find a table cell template that does not take a parameter and you want to be able to change the text in the cell, ''do not'' duplicate the template! Instead, edit the template and change the text to a default parameter substitution.  For example, if a template's text is <code>Dropped</code>, change that to <code><nowiki>{{{1|Dropped}}}</nowiki></code>.

:<syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>style="background: #abcdef; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align: {{{align|center}}}; {{{style|}}}" class="automatic table-automatic"| {{{1|text}}}</syntaxhighlight>

== Choosing a color ==

When changing or creating a new template, follow the [[HELP:COLOR|use of colour guidelines]] and the [[MOS:COLOR|color accessibility guidelines]] when choosing the background color and, sometimes, the text color. Many of these templates can be used with links to other articles or references, so the links should be clearly identifiable against the background color. You can check contrast level using the [https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ WebAIM contrast checker] by setting the foreground color to the [[WP:LINKCOLOR|blue link]] color. Contrast should be at the minimum WCAG AA level and, whenever possible, at WCAG AAA level. [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Colors]] has a set of colors that comply with WCAG AAA and WCAG AA for unvisited links and normal text.

== Color subpage ==
All templates should either have a <code>/bgcolor</code> subpage that contains nothing but a valid CSS color code, possibly wrapped in ''nowiki'' tags, e.g. <code><nowiki>#BFD</nowiki></code>, which can be included with <code><nowiki>background: {{/bgcolor}};</nowiki></code> in the <code>style</code> attribute, or they should reference another template's subpage, e.g. <code><nowiki>background: {{Template:Yes2/bgcolor}};</nowiki></code>. Alternatively, the <code>/bgcolor</code> subpage may redirect to another color code subpage: <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[yes2/bgcolor]]</nowiki></code>.

This way, pages that are using these templates may also use {{tl|legend}} and similar templates which can reference the actual color: <code><nowiki>{{legend|{{yes2/bgcolor}}|supported}}</nowiki></code>

== TemplateData ==
{{TemplateData header|{{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}}}
