Edit request
Please remove the usage section and replace it with the  template as I've created a documentation subpage at Template:Fontcolor/doc. A specific description of the request follows below. Thanks.

Change this:

Usage
&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;

Examples of use:
 * &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;: :(it appears in green text).
 * &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;: :(no parameters are used for the text color, only for the background)
 * &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;:

Link
I added link to font color/sandbox to add a wikilink. The use is when the blue link would be non-accessible on a background such as a navbox header. A |\{\{font+color%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go search shows this use is prevelant.


 * yes sets the link to the test
 * link sets the link to the link text

Two problems
One, two lines of the template were setting the background colour to in the two-parameter case, where the second parameter is the text to be displayed, not a colour name.

Two, when templates are expanded as part of a signature, the software does not remove the comments. So the comment in the first  was breaking the logic of the template; the #if was always coming out true. This behaviour could also be seen in the result from Special:ExpandTemplates. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:12, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Added more named parameters
Per sandbox and new testcases, named parameters now work for  and. If this is OK, yet not documented withing a while, I'll document it. fg=1 bg=2 text=3. Link=4 was already there. &mdash; Cp i r al  Cpiral  08:30, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Made spacing irrelevant inside
Space characters did not need to define colors, nor be used in a label field to add space outside the template. So I made the space issue go away in the sandbox and redid all the testcases. Then I did this search link and fixed a few minor things in those to feel totally right about swapping it into service.&mdash; Cp i r al  Cpiral  12:48, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 22 January 2017
Add {{subst:tfm|Colored link}} to the top, as I just nominated it for merging. Noincluding as it is sometimes substituted. P p p er y 02:29, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done Primefac (talk) 03:28, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * For some reason, I always forget the syntax of tls, and thus otherpage needs to be changed to colored link in the tfm notice. P p p er y 03:51, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Parameter request
Hi, can you add a 'font-type', 'font-family' or 'font-variant' in it. It would be very helpful. Empire AS (Talk) 07:42, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , Font might be what you're looking for. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 07:48, 11 December 2020 (UTC)


 * , I know that however the problem is, that template uses named parameters but an unnamed parameter of font should be here too. Empire AS (Talk) 07:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you're proposing (you could mock it up the sandbox if you want to demonstrate), but generally I think it's not a good idea to expand the functionality of this template beyond just selecting the color. If we were to do that we'd just want to merge it with Font. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 08:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Color of link underline
Currently, if a link is colored using this template, the underline is not colored appropriately, e.g. Main Page. Colored link properly handles this via the CSS ; I'd personally suggest to just shell out to Colored link when this template is used to color a link, but the CSS could also be added here directly. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」☎ Dinoguy1000 11:53, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
