Relocate template documentation to dedicated subpage to save on parsing time

New page

__NOTOC__
== Purpose ==
This template creates a table cell with a light grey background and black, larger heavy text which defaults to a triple question mark, as seen above. It is designed to generate a uniform appearance for common cell values in feature and comparison tables with minimal effort, alongside similar templates like:

<table class="wikitable" style="display: inline-table; vertical-align: middle; margin-left: 3em;">
<tr><td class="table-yes" style="background: #90ff90; color: #000; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;"> [[Template:Yes|Yes]] </td></tr>
</table> or
<table class="wikitable" style="display: inline-table; vertical-align: middle; margin-left: 1em;">
<tr><td class="table-no" style="background: #ff9090; color: #000; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;"> [[Template:No|No]] </td></tr>
</table> or
<table class="wikitable" style="display: inline-table; vertical-align: middle; margin-left: 1em;">
<tr><td class="table-partial" style="background: #ffff00; color: #000; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;"> [[Template:Partial|Partial]] </td></tr>
</table>

== Usage ==
The template will only function properly when used inside of the standard wikicode for tables, following the pipe character(s) which indicate the start of a new table cell. In practice, it looks like this when editing and then when parsed:
<poem style="display: inline-block; margin: 0.5em 2.5em 0.5em 6em; width: 30%; padding:15px 15px 15px 15px; background: cornsilk; border: 1px solid #000;">
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Template documented?
! Template categorized?
|-
| '''<nowiki>{{Unknown}}</nowiki>'''
| <nowiki>{{Yes}}</nowiki>
|}
</poem><table class="wikitable" style="display: inline-block; margin: 0 0 3em 2.5em;">
<tr><th>Template documented?</th><th>Template categorized?</th></tr>
<tr><td style="background: #d3d3d3; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;" class="table-unknown"> ??? </td><td style="background: #90ff90; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;" class="table-yes"> Yes </td></tr>
</table>

=== Custom cell text ===
The question marks as the cell's content can be replaced with any text desired by assigning it to the value of the <code><nowiki>|1=</nowiki></code> parameter or passing it as the only unnamed parameter. For example, calling this template with either '''<kbd><nowiki>{{Unknown|TBD}}</nowiki></kbd>''' or '''<kbd><nowiki>{{Unknown|1=TBD}}</nowiki></kbd>''' formatting, as both produce the following table cell when transcluded and parsed:

<table class="wikitable" style="margin-left: 3em;"><tr><td style="background: {{{bgcolor|#d3d3d3;}}} color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align: {{{align|center}}}; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;{{{style|}}}" class="table-unknown"> TBD </td></tr></table>

=== Parameters ===
Changes to the template's appearance when parsed are accomplished by adding parameters to the template call in the form of '''<code><nowiki>{{Unknown|name=value}}</nowiki></code>'''. Use as many or as few as needed to accomplish the desired appearance.

<table class="wikitable"><caption>All available named parameters</caption>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Value</th>
<tr><th><code><nowiki>1</nowiki></code></th>
<td>plain text or wiki markup that overrides the default <span style="color: #000; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;"> ??? </span> contents (may also be provided as only unnamed parameter)</td></tr>
<tr><th><code><nowiki>align</nowiki></code></th>
<td>'''<kbd>left</kbd>''' or '''<kbd>right</kbd>''' align the cell contents to that horizontal edge, overriding the default center alignment</td></tr>
<tr><th><code><nowiki>bgcolor</nowiki></code></th>
<td>changes the background color, always terminated with a semicolon — values may be:
* named CSS colors like '''<kbd>moccasin;</kbd>'''
* short RGB hexadecimals like '''<kbd>#ccc;</kbd>''' or long ones like '''<kbd>#ffe228;</kbd>'''
* a keyword like '''<kbd>transparent;</kbd>''' or '''<kbd>none;</kbd>''' (inheriting the surrounding background color or becoming white, respectively)</td></tr>
<tr><th><code><nowiki>style</nowiki></code></th>
<td>any other CSS style elements desired beyond or instead of the default formatting, each one terminated with a semicolon</td></tr></table>

=== Default style ===
This template uses the following CSS elements as its defaults. Those without an explicit override parameter above can still be changed if necessary by adding them as a value for the <code><nowiki>|style=</nowiki></code> parameter with a space and <kbd>!important</kbd> placed before the terminating semicolon.

:<code>style="background: #d3d3d3; color: #000; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;" class="table-unknown"</code>

An example of such an override (in this instance changing the font-weight parameter which controls the level of typeface boldness to the unbolded value of 500) would look like:

:'''<code><nowiki>{{Unknown|style=font-weight: 500 !important;}}</nowiki></code>'''  which then appears as    <table class="wikitable" style="display: inline-table; vertical-align: middle;"><tr><td class="table-unknown" style="background: #d3d3d3; color: #000; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 500; font-size: 108%;"> ??? </td></tr></table>
