The template Template:Tl is how you insert colorized text. You can specify its background color at the same time.

Purpose

Template:Tlc is also how you can color wikilinks to something other than blue for when you need to work within background colors. Normally [[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein]] produces Wikipedia:Albert Einstein, but here we use a font color with |link= to create a black wikilink → Wikipedia:Albert Einstein. You can make any text link to any page using the |link= parameter.

This template uses the latest 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

Template:Tlc has a one‐color and a two‐color form:

Either form has a |link= option, for colorizing (otherwise blue or red) wikilink text:

You can also name the other fields:

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.

Parameters

Use / description Default value
{{{1}}} text color inherited
{{{2}}} text
link =yes or =fullpagename

Or

Use / description Default value
{{{1}}} text color inherited
{{{2}}} background color inherited
{{{3}}} text
link =yes or =fullpagename

Examples

Markup Renders as
Template:Tlc green text
Template:Tlc do not style text as a link
Template:Tlc default text in yellow background
Template:Tlc default text in yellow background
Template:Tlc white with black background
Template:Tlc white with black background
Markup Renders as
Template:Tlc Wikipedia:Example
Template:Tlc Wikipedia:Example
Template:Tlc Wikipedia:Example

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}}]] produces the Wikipedia:Example page (a font‐colored link)
Template:Tnull does not accept a wikilink, it creates wikilinks itself with |link=.
Template:Tlc produces Wikipedia:Example
Template:Tlc produces the Wikipedia:Example page (text with [[wikilink brackets]] overrides the designated color)
