Template:UK colour template doc/doc

This template lists as a wikitable row a template name, an argument (if needed), a color sample, its hex triplet, the relevant article, and optional additional text.

{{Template:system color}}

Sample:

hexval

page text

Usage

The template itself is contained between table start and end markup:

{| class="wikitable"
{{UK colour template doc|template|argument}}
|}

argument is used for both the page link and the colour template parameter. If no optional parameters are specified, then argument is used ‘as is’ for the page link, and the last word of argument is removed and the result is used as the colour template parameter.

argument can be omitted if the color template has only one value, or it is desired to show the default color.

There are four optional named parameters:

• arg

used when the colour template parameter is not a short version of the linked page.

• colour

used when there is no appropriate colour template.

• link

used when there is no colour template or the colour template parameter is omitted.
link=none will suppress a link.

• text

optional additional text.

Examples

Code: {{UK colour template doc|London Underground|Piccadilly}} (colour template and parameter)

Result:

{{rail color|London Underground|Piccadilly}}

Sample:

10069f

Piccadilly

Code: {{UK colour template doc|Tramlink}} (parameter is not short form of page link)

Code: {{UK colour template doc|link=City Cruises|colour=007fff}} (no colour template)

Result:

Note that omitting both parameters 1 and 2 and the optional page link will produce an error:

Code: {{UK colour template doc|text=Catamaran Cruisers|colour=e75480}} (no colour template or page link)

Result:

{{Temporary rail colour|e75480}}

Sample:

e75480

[[]] Catamaran Cruisers

… unless |link=none is included:

Code: {{UK colour template doc|text=Catamaran Cruisers|colour=e75480|link=none}} (no colour template or page link)

Result:

{{Temporary rail colour|e75480}}

Sample:

e75480
