Template:Active/doc

	This is a documentation subpage for Template:Active. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

The templates in this series are designed to be used in a table to make a cell with text in that cell, with an appropriately colored background.

For example, {{active}} makes a cell with a green check mark and background. The text in the cell is taken from the first parameter; style="background:#9EFF9E;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;"| Live would output "Live" otherwise it defaults to "Active". Most templates allow editors to override the default text in this way.

Important: If you want to use other attributes for the table cells, e.g. colspan, rowspan, or style, they need to be put before the template call, and there must be no vertical bar (aka pipe) | in-between them:

Yes	No	Unsure
-

...
!{{Active|Yes}} ||{{Defunct|No}} ||rowspan=2 {{Unknown|Unsure}}
|-
|colspan=2 style="border:solid 3px Maroon" {{Unknown|-}}
...
