Colour generation guide

• The method used for selecting the colours for various top-level pages, e.g. Main Page, Community Portal, Contents, and Help:Contents.
  The 3 colours are generated using the HSV colour space, then translated into RGB.

Wikimedia colour schemesTemplate:Anchors

Wikipedia

Wikipedia uses this colour scheme on its Main Page.

Please note that the colour for the border on the lighter boxes is also the colour of the backgrounds of the darker (title) boxes.

Hue: 150	background:#F5FFFA border:#CEF2E0		background:#CEF2E0 border:#A3BFB1
Hue: 210	background:#F5FAFF border:#CEE0F2		background:#CEE0F2 border:#A3B1BF

And additionally on the Community Portal:

Hue: 030

background:#FFFAF5 border:#F2E0CE

background:#F2E0CE border:#BFB1A3

Additional 3-colour palettes using this same generation scheme are at the top of the talk page. In the Monobook skin, the background colour of Wikipedia pages is #F8FCFF. In the Vector skin, the background colour on all pages is #FFFFFF.

Commons

The Wikimedia Commons uses this colour scheme on commons:Main Page and commons:Help:Contents. Differing from the English Wikipedia, Commons does not use an extra, darker colour for bordering the header. Also, the colour sets are not derived from a hue the way the above table does.

Organizing your writing — sections, paragraphs, lists and lines

What it looks like	What you type
Sections and subsections Start sections with header lines Note: Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title; usually projects have the convention not to use them. New section Subsection Sub-subsection Start with a second-level heading (==); don't use first-level headings (=). Don't skip levels (for example, second-level followed by fourth-level). A table of contents will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections. If appropriate, place subsections in order. If listing countries, for example, place them in alphabetical order rather than, say, relative to population of countries, or some haphazardous order. If you want to keep headings out of the TOC you have to use HTML heading tags and close them without using a slash e.g. <h4>heading too low level to be in the TOC of large page<h4>.	== New section == === Subsection === ==== Sub-subsection ====
Newline|Newline A single newline has no effect on the layout. But an empty line starts a new paragraph, or ends a list or indented part. (<p> disables this paragraphing until </p> or the end of the section) (In Cologne blue, two newlines and a div tag give just one newline; in the order newline, div tag, newline, the result is two newlines.) A semicolon at the start of a line is not rendered, but has the effect of rendering the newline. A colon in such a line is not rendered, but has the effect of starting a new, indented line, see definition list.	A single newline has no effect on the layout. But an empty line starts a new paragraph.
You can break lines without starting a new paragraph. Please use this sparingly. Close markup between lines; do not start a link or italics or bold on one line and close it on the next.	You can break lines <br/> without starting a new paragraph.
Unordered Lists are easy to do: start every line with a star, more stars means deeper levels. A newline in a list marks the end of the list. Of course, you can start again.	* Unordered Lists are easy to do: ** start every line with a star, *** more stars means deeper levels. * A newline * in a list marks the end of the list. * Of course, * you can * start again.
Numbered lists are also good very organized easy to follow A newline in a list marks the end of the list. New numbering starts with 1.	# Numbered lists are also good ## very organized ## easy to follow # A newline # in a list marks the end of the list. # New numbering starts # with 1.
You can even do mixed lists and nest them or break lines in lists	* You can even do mixed lists *# and nest them *#* or break lines <br/>in lists
Definition list word definition of the word longer phrase phrase defined	; word : definition of the word ; longer phrase : phrase defined One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing.
Indenting A colon at the start of a line indents a paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph. This is often used for discussion. In the case of a semicolon and some text in front of the colon, the first colon starts a new line (indented as before) even though it is in the wikitext not at the start of the line, see definition list.	: A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph.
When there is a need for separating a block of text the blockquote command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. This is useful for (as the name says) inserting blocks of quoted (and cited) text.	<blockquote> The '''blockquote''' command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. </blockquote>
Centered text. Please note the US English spelling of "center".	<center>Centered text.</center>
A horizontal dividing line: this is above it... ...and this is below it. If you don't use a section header, you don't get a TOC entry.	A horizontal dividing line: this is above it... ---- ...and this is below it.

Template:PD Help Page

For MediaWiki's database table structure, see: Manual:Database layout

Tables may be created in wiki pages. As a general rule, it is best to avoid using a table unless you need one. Table markup often complicates page editing.

Wiki table markup summary

{|	table start, required
|+	table caption, optional; only between table start and after table row
|-	table row, optional on first row—wiki engine assumes the first row
!	table header cell, optional. Consecutive table header cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (!!) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (!).
|	table data cell, optional. Consecutive table data cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (||) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (|).
|}	table end, required

• The above marks must start on a new line except the double || and !! for optionally adding consecutive cells to a line. However, blank spaces at the beginning of a line are ignored.
• XHTML attributes. Each mark, except table end, optionally accepts one or more XHTML attributes. Attributes must be on the same line as the mark. Separate attributes from each other with a single space.
  • Cells and caption (| or ||, ! or !!, and |+) hold content. So separate any attributes from content with a single pipe (|). Cell content may follow on same line or on following lines.
  • Table and row marks ({| and |-) do not directly hold content. Do not add pipe (|) after their optional attributes. If you erroneously add a pipe after attributes for the table mark or row mark the parser will delete it and your final attribute if it was touching the erroneous pipe!
• Content may (a) follow its cell mark on the same line after any optional XHTML attributes or (b) on lines below the cell mark. Content that uses wiki markup that itself needs to start on a new line, such as lists, headings, or nested tables, must be on its own new line.
  • Pipe character as content. To insert a pipe (|) character into a table, use the <nowiki>|</nowiki> escaping markup.

Basics

The following table lacks borders and good spacing but shows the simplest wiki markup table structure.

You type	You get
{| |Orange |Apple |- |Bread |Pie |- |Butter |Ice cream |}	Orange Apple Bread Pie Butter Ice cream

The cells in the same row can be listed on one line separated by || (two pipe symbols). If the text in the cell should contain a line break, use <br/> instead.

You type	You get
{| |Orange||Apple||more |- |Bread||Pie||more |- |Butter||Ice<br/>cream||and<br/>more |}	Orange Apple more Bread Pie more Butter Ice cream and more

Extra spaces within cells in the wiki markup, as in the wiki markup below, do not affect the actual table rendering.

You type	You get
{| | Orange || Apple || more |- | Bread || Pie || more |- | Butter || Ice cream || and more |}	Orange Apple more Bread Pie more Butter Ice cream and more

You can have longer text or more complex wiki syntax inside table cells, too:

You type

You get

{| |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. | * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet * consetetur sadipscing elitr * sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt |}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consetetur sadipscing elitr sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt

Table headers

Table headers can be created by using "!" (exclamation mark) instead of "|" (pipe symbol). Headers usually show up bold and centered by default.

You type	You get
{| ! style="text-align:left;"| Item ! Amount ! Cost |- |Orange |10 |7.00 |- |Bread |4 |3.00 |- |Butter |1 |5.00 |- !Total | |15.00 |}	Item Amount Cost Orange 10 7.00 Bread 4 3.00 Butter 1 5.00 Total 15.00

Note: When using attributes as in the heading 'Item' a vertical bar '|' is used for separation. Not an exclamation character '!'.

Caption

A table caption can be added to the top of any table as follows.

You type	You get
{| |+Food complements |- |Orange |Apple |- |Bread |Pie |- |Butter |Ice cream |}	Food complements Orange Apple Bread Pie Butter Ice cream

class="wikitable"

Basic styling (light gray background, borders, padding and align left) can be achieved by adding class="wikitable".

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" |+Food complements |- |Orange |Apple |- |Bread |Pie |- |Butter |Ice cream |}	Food complements Orange Apple Bread Pie Butter Ice cream

HTML colspan and rowspan

You can use HTML colspan and rowspan attributes on cells for advanced layout.

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" !colspan="6"|Shopping List |- |rowspan="2"|Bread & Butter |Pie |Buns |Danish |colspan="2"|Croissant |- |Cheese |colspan="2"|Ice cream |Butter |Yogurt |}	Shopping List Bread & Butter Pie Buns Danish Croissant Cheese Ice cream Butter Yogurt

XHTML attributes

You can add XHTML attributes to tables. For the authoritative source on these, see the W3C's HTML 4.01 Specification page on tables.

Attributes on tables

Placing attributes after the table start tag ({|) applies attributes to the entire table.

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; color: green;" |Orange |Apple |12,333.00 |- |Bread |Pie |500.00 |- |Butter |Ice cream |1.00 |}	Orange Apple 12,333.00 Bread Pie 500.00 Butter Ice cream 1.00

Attributes on cells

You can put attributes on individual cells. For example, numbers may look better aligned right.

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" | Orange | Apple | style="text-align:right;" | 12,333.00 |- | Bread | Pie | style="text-align:right;" | 500.00 |- | Butter | Ice cream | style="text-align:right;" | 1.00 |}	Orange Apple 12,333.00 Bread Pie 500.00 Butter Ice cream 1.00

You can also use cell attributes when you are listing multiple cells on a single line. Note that the cells are separated by ||, and within each cell the attribute(s) and value are separated by |.

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" | Orange || Apple || style="text-align:right;" | 12,333.00 |- | Bread || Pie || style="text-align:right;" | 500.00 |- | Butter || Ice cream || style="text-align:right;" | 1.00 |}	Orange Apple 12,333.00 Bread Pie 500.00 Butter Ice cream 1.00

Attributes on rows

You can put attributes on individual rows, too.

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" | Orange | Apple | style="text-align:right;"| 12,333.00 |- | Bread | Pie | style="text-align:right;"| 500.00 |- style="font-style: italic; color: green;" | Butter | Ice cream | style="text-align:right;"| 1.00 |}	Orange Apple 12,333.00 Bread Pie 500.00 Butter Ice cream 1.00

Simple one-pixel table border

An example of a one-pixel table border:

You type	You get
{| border="1" style="border-collapse:collapse" | Orange | Apple |- | Bread | Pie |}	Orange Apple Bread Pie

Border width

If "border-width:" has only one number, it is for all four border sides:

You type	You get
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 20px" | Hello |}	Hello

If "border-width:" has more than one number, the four numbers are for top, right, bottom, left (REMEMBER this order):

You type	You get
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 10px 20px 100px 0" | Hello |}	Hello

When there are fewer than 4 values, the value for left takes its default from the value for right, the value for bottom takes its default from the value for top, and the value for right takes its default from the value for top.

Another method to define the widths of the four sides of a cell is to use "border-left", "border-right", "border-top" and "border-bottom":

You type	You get
{|style="border-left:solid 10px black;border-right:solid 20px black;border-top:solid 30px black;border-bottom:solid 40px black;font-size:90%;font-size:90%;" align="center" | Hello |}	Hello

Notes :

• The HTML attributes (such as "width=", "border=", "cellspacing=", "cellpadding=") do not need any length unit (the pixel unit is assumed). The CSS style properties (which override the HTML attributes) require an explicit length unit (if the value is not 0) such as "px" for the pixel.

With HTML attributes and CSS styles

CSS style attributes can be added with or without other HTML attributes.

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" style="color:green; background-color:#ffffcc;" cellpadding="10" |Orange |Apple |- |Bread |Pie |- |Butter |Ice cream |}	Orange Apple Bread Pie Butter Ice cream

Attributes

Attributes can be added to the caption and headers as follows.

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" |+ style="caption-side:bottom; color:#e76700;"|''Food complements'' |- |Orange |Apple |- |Bread |Pie |- |Butter |Ice cream |}	Food complements Orange Apple Bread Pie Butter Ice cream

Column width

Column width can be added as follows.

You type:

{| style="color: black; background-color: #ffffcc;" width="85%"
| colspan="2" | This column width is 85% of the screen width (and has a background color)
|-
| style="width: 30%; background-color: white;"|
'''This column is 30% counted from 85% of the screen width'''
| style="width: 70%; background-color: orange;"|
'''This column is 70% counted from 85% of the screen width (and has a background color)'''
|}

You get:

This column width is 85% of the screen width (and has a background color)
This column is 30% counted from 85% of the screen width	This column is 70% counted from 85% of the screen width (and has a background color)

Accessibility of table header cells

Table header cells do not explicitly specify which table data cells they apply to (those on their right on the same row, or those below them on the same column). When the table is rendered in a visual 2D environment, this is usually easy to infer.

However when tables are rendered on non-visual media, you can help the browser to determine which table header cell applies to the description of any selected cell (in order to repeat its content in some accessibility helper) using a scope="row" or scope="col" attribute on table header cells. In most cases with simple tables, you'll use scope="col" on all header cells of the first row, and scope="row" on the first cell of the following rows:

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col"| Item ! scope="col"| Quantity ! scope="col"| Price |- ! scope="row"| Bread | 0.3 kg | $0.65 |- ! scope="row"| Butter | 0.125 kg | $1.25 |- ! scope="row" colspan="2"| Total | $1.90 |}	Item Quantity Price Bread 0.3 kg $0.65 Butter 0.125 kg $1.25 Total $1.90

Alignment

Table alignment

Table alignment is achieved by using CSS. The table alignment is controlled by margins. A fixed margin on one side will make the table to be aligned to that side, if on the opposite side the margin is defined as auto. To have a table center aligned, you should set both margins to auto

For example, a right-aligned table:

You type	You get
{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: 0px;" | Orange | Apple |- | Bread | Pie |- | Butter | Ice cream |}	Orange Apple Bread Pie Butter Ice cream

Table floating around text

If you align a table to the right or the left side of the page, the text that comes after the table starts at the end of it, leaving an empty space around the table. You can make the text to be wrapped around the table by making the table to float around the text instead of just aligning it. This can be achieved using the float CSS attribute, which can specify where the table floats to the right side or to the left. When using float, margins doesn't control table alignment and can be used to specify the margin between the table and the surrounding text.

Cell contents alignment

The alignment of cell contents can be controlled with 2 different CSS properties: text-align and vertical-align. text-align can be specified at the table, row or individual cells, while vertical-align only can be specified at individual rows or cells.

You type

You get

{| class="wikitable" |- style="vertical-align:top;" | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:left;" | A | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | B | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:right;" | C |- style="vertical-align:middle;" | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:left;" | D | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | E | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:right;" | F |- style="vertical-align:bottom;" | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:left;" | G | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | H | style="height:100px; width:100px; text-align:right;" | I |}

<translate> Editing</translate>
__NOEDITSECTION__	<translate> Hides the section edit links beside headings. This is especially useful, where a heading is created from within a template: the normal wiki section-edit would in this case edit the template code, which is normally counterintuitive to the user. If a template contains multiple headings, it may be necessary to add "<tvar|noeditsection>__NOEDITSECTION__</>" after each heading.</translate>
__NEWSECTIONLINK__	<translate> Adds a link beside the "edit" tab for adding a new section on a non-talk page (see Template:Mediawiki).</translate>	{{ Template:TNTN |version=1.7|compact=y|comment=and after}}
__NONEWSECTIONLINK__	<translate> Removes the link beside the "edit" tab on pages in talk namespaces.</translate>	{{ Template:TNTN |version=1.15|compact=y|comment=and after|r=47522}}

<translate> Language conversion</translate>
__NOCONTENTCONVERT__ __NOCC__	<translate> On wikis with language variants, don't perform any content language conversion (character and phase) in article display; for example, only show Chinese (zh) instead of variants like zh_cn, zh_tw, zh_sg, or zh_hk.</translate>
__NOTITLECONVERT__ __NOTC__	<translate> On wikis with language variants, don't perform language conversion on the title (all other content is converted).</translate>
<translate> Other</translate>
__START__	<translate> No effect.</translate>
__END__	<translate> Explicitly marks the end of the article, to prevent MediaWiki from removing trailing whitespace. Removed in Template:Mediawiki.</translate>	{{ Template:TNTN |version=1.1|compact=y|version2=1.8}}
__INDEX__	<translate> Tell search engines to index the page (overrides <tvar|manual-wg-bot-policy>Template:Mediawiki</>, but not robots.txt). It obeys <tvar|manual-wg-exempt-from-bot>$wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl</> variable.</translate>	{{ Template:TNTN |version=1.14|compact=y|comment=and after}}
__NOINDEX__	<translate> Tell search engines not to index the page (i.e. do not list in search engines' results). It obeys <tvar|manual-wg-exempt-from-bot>$wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl</> variable.</translate>	{{ Template:TNTN |version=1.14|compact=y|comment=and after|r=37973}}
__STATICREDIRECT__	<translate> On redirect pages, don't allow MediaWiki to automatically update the link when someone moves a page and checks "<tvar|fixDoubleRedirects>Update any redirects that point to the original title</>" (which requires [[<tvar|var>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgFixDoubleRedirects</>|$wgFixDoubleRedirects]]).</translate>	{{ Template:TNTN |version=1.13|compact=y|comment=and after|r=37928}}

Caveats

Negative numbers

If you start a cell on a new line with a negative number with a minus sign (or a parameter that evaluates to a negative number), your table can get broken, because the characters |- will be parsed as the wiki markup for table row, not table cell. To avoid this, insert a space before the value (| -6) or use in-line cell markup (|| -6).

CSS vs attributes

Table borders specified through CSS rather than the border attribute will render incorrectly in a small subset of text browsers.

Common attributes for columns, column groups and row groups

The MediaWiki syntax for tables currently offers no support for specifying common attributes for columns (with the HTML element <col />), column groups (HTML element <colgroup></colgroup>) and row groups (HTML elements <thead></thead>, <tbody></tbody> and <tfoot></tfoot>). Those standard HTML elements are not accepted even in their HTML or XHTML syntax.

All the rows and cells (header or data) of the table are rendered within a single implicit row group (HTML element <tbody></tbody>) without any attributes or styles.
