Template:Font color bold
Template Documentation
Purpose
{{Font color bold}} or {{Fcb}} is how you can insert colorized bold text, such as red, orange, green, blue and indigo, and many others. You can specify its background color at the same time.
{{Font color bold}} 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 bold}} 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; font-weight:bold">...</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 bold}} has a one-color and a two-color form:
{{font color bold| color| text }}{{font color bold| 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 bold | fg=color | text=text }}{{font color bold | 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.
.{{font color bold|tan|green|text with four words}}.→.text with four words..{{font color bold|tan|green|text with four words}}.→.text with four words..{{font color bold | 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 bold|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=.
- {{Font color bold|green|violet|Wikipedia:Example|link = yes}}→ Wikipedia:Example (a|link={{font color bold}})
- {{Font color bold|green|violet|the [[Wikipedia:Example]] page}}→ the Wikipedia:Example page (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)- -
{{Font color bold|green|violet|an [[Example]]}}→ an Example (Text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)
