Template:Element cell-1

title="" style="width:2em; text-align:center; background:;"|

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template provides a simple and lean way to build a colored periodic table. Used in a wikitable, it produces a link to an element page and a background color.

Example Hg, in wikitable:

 {|
 |-
 | {{element cell-1|80|Y}}
 |}

Hg

It is suited for talkpages; for article space it may be too simple. Precoded PTs for copy-paste are available:

• Element cell-1/PT 18-col
• Element cell-1/PT 32-col
• Element cell-1/PT extended

Usage

This section:

T:Element cell ... templates (mainspace)
... cell-named See {{PT}}	cell-large {{Large}}	cell {{Blocks}}	cell property {{Electron affinities}}	cell image {{Group x}}	/navbox {{/navbox}}	/isotopes {{isotopes (navbox)}}
Mer­cury80Hg​200.59	mercury 80 Hg  200.59 200.592±0.003	80 Hg	Hg200.592±0.003	Hg 80	Hg	Isotopes § List Hg 80
Used in wikitable pattern: {| |- | {{element cell-abc|80|Hg}} |}
All cell templates produce a table cell output in pattern: style="background:#12abdf;" | [[Gold]] Note that there is the pipe symbol (|) in the middle (added by the template), separating cell style and cell content.
{{element cell | | | | | | | | link= | border= | bg= | style= | title= | legend= }}			{{element cell | 1= Atomic number | 2= Element name (and default page link; see also 'link=' parameter) | 3= Symbol | 4= (not used) | 5= State of matter (sets font color) | 6= Metal–nonmetal category name (sets background color, see also bg=) | 7= Occurrence (sets cell border style) | link= Wikipedia page (links 2 different, like [[Mercury (element)|mercury]]) | border= Sets border style (overrides 7. Like: border=3px solid red) | bg= Background color (overrides 6; can look like bg=#aabbcc) | style= Adds or overrides style settings (do not add the "" quotes) | title= Mousehover text (overrides title composed from 2, 3, ...) | legend= Legend text in title (overrides text part that was composed from 6; 5; 7) }}

The template produces a content in formatted CSS style for a single element cell (to be used in a periodic table).

A simple list can be made easily, with colors set or changed: C (for Category color, as set in enwiki), R, G, B, Y, grey, pink, alkaline earth metal

So: |2=...

C (for Category color, as set in enwiki)
R -> red
G -> green
B -> blue
Y ->yellow
grey -> color name
pink -> color name
alkaline earth metal -> category name

H

H

He

Li

Be

B

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

{{element cell-1
| 1= atomic number Z
| 2= bg color (R,G,B,Y,W,X,C or "#abe5ff", "lightgreen", "post-transition metal" &tc.)
}}
