| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Font color. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| Links should clearly be identifiable as links to readers. Refrain from implementing colored links that may impede user ability to distinguish links from regular text, or color links for purely aesthetic reasons. See the guides to editing articles for accessibility at contrast, accessibility and navbox colors. |
| This template is used on approximately 36,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |

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
<span style="color:color">...</span> and
<span style="background-color:color">...</span>, so the 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.

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):
[[Wikipedia:Example|{{font color|white|blue|the Wikipedia:Example page}}]]- → the Wikipedia:Example page (a font-colored link),
a font color does not accept a wikilink, it creates wikilinks itself with |link=.
- Template:OK {{ font color | green | violet | Wikipedia:Example | link=yes }} → Wikipedia:Example (a
|link={{ font color }})
- REDIRECT Template:Xmark
|
{{ font color | green | violet | the [[Wikipedia:Example]] page}} → the Wikipedia:Example page (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)
- REDIRECT Template:Xmark
|
{{ font color | green | violet | [[Wikipedia:Exammple]] }} → the Wikipedia:Exammple page (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)
For actual mainspace template usage, here are search links for
- Template:Sl.
- Template:Template usage.
- Template:Sl showing its use in articles whose title begins with the letter "F".
