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.
Spacing is of no concern.

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=
.
- Ok -
{{Font color|green|violet|Wikipedia:Example}}
→ Wikipedia:Example (a|link=
{{font color}}) - Wrong -
{{Font color|green|violet|the Wikipedia:Example page}}
→ the Wikipedia:Example page (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color) - Wrong -
{{Font color|green|violet|Wikipedia:Exammple}}
→ the Wikipedia:Exammple page (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)
