Template documentation
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:
or
or
Usage
The template will only function properly when used inside of the standard wikicode for tables, following the | character(s) which indicate the table cell. In practice, it looks like this when editing and then when parsed:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Template documented?
! Template categorized?
|-
| {{Unknown}}
| {{Yes}}
|}
| Template documented? | Template categorized? |
|---|
| ??? | Yes |
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 |1= parameter or passing it as the only unnamed parameter. For example, calling this template with either {{Unknown|TBD}} or {{Unknown|1=TBD}} formatting, as both produce the following table cell when transcluded and parsed:
Parameters
All available template parameters
|1= |
overrides default ??? contents (may also be provided as only unnamed parameter) |
|---|
|align= |
values of left or right align the cell contents to that horizontal edge, overriding the default center alignment |
|---|
|bgcolor= |
changes the background color, always terminated with a semicolon — values may be:
- named CSS colors like moccasin;
- short RGB hexadecimals like #ccc; or long ones like #ffe228;
- a keyword like transparent or none to either inherit/disable the background
|
|---|
|style= |
for any other CSS style elements desired beyond the standard formatting |
|---|
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 |style= parameter with a space and !important placed before the terminating semicolon.
style="background: #d3d3d3; color: #000; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; font-weight: 800; font-size: 108%;" class="table-unknown"
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:
{{Unknown|style=font-weight: 500 !important;}} which then appears as
