Usage[edit]

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

This section:

T:Element cell ... templates (mainspace)

Isotopes § List

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.

Parameters[edit]

All parameters are optional.

{|
|-
| ((element cell|80|mercury|Hg||Liquid|Transition metals|Primordial|link=mercury (element)))
|}

80
Hg

Top row

Parameter 1, usually the atomic number, is put in the top row unlinked. If this parameter is present, a <br/> is added. The font color is set by parameter 5, usually the state of matter key.

Asterisk (*)

To add a plain asterisk, as is done to mark lanthanides and actinides, add them in <nowiki> tags in parameter #1 like this:

 | ((element cell|&lt;nowiki>*&lt;/nowiki>|Lanthanides))

Page link

The cell links to parameter 2, usually the element name. If the page name is not the element name, as with [[Mercury (element)]], the correct pagename can be set through link=Mercury (element).

Label

The link is labeled with parameter 3 (usually the symbol): link=[[Aluminium|Al]]. If there is no link provided (no parameter 2, no link=), parameter 3 will show as unlinked text.

Background

The background color is set by parameter 6, usually the category name. It can be set by parameter bg: bg=#aabbcc. Parameter bg is used for just a color, with no legend meaning (no text in the title).

Frame (cell border)

The frame style is set via parameter 7, usually the occurrence. It can be overridden by using (({1))}. This sets the border (frame), but does not have a legend meaning (no text in the title).

Style

All style can be set (and overridden) by using the style parameter: style=width:5em;. Do not add quotes ("").

Title

The title (mousehover text) is created from params 1: 6; 7; 5. (name: category; occurrence; state of matter).
The emercury example will give: Mercury: transition metals; primordeal; liquid
When parameters bg or border are used, their setting is not added to the title (they are meaningless). The title can be set (overridden) to any text, including a blank, by using title=...

Legend

The legend is composed from parameters 6, 5 and 7. It can be overridden by using legend=Special meaning. (This can be useful in combination with setting bg=...).

Example using parameters

{|
|-
| ((element cell|one|two|three|bg=yellow|border=3px solid red|link=Main page|title=Some example))
|}

Periodic table templates and files

((Navbox periodic table)) ((Sidebar periodic table))

Column counts are columns only that contain elements. "Compact cells" denote cells with element symbol only, have navbox style and the table fits basic wiki page width (1024×768). "Detailed cells" have more data, and may cause page width excess (scroll bar added). "Extended" periodic tables are about theoretical periods 8 and higher (element 119 and higher).

Table forms

Standard	18 columns: ((Basic)) image:Periodic table 32 columns: ((Micro cells (box))) ((bare)) ((Compact))
Extended	Standard ((Extended, 32 columns, navbox)) by Aufbau ((50 columns, period 8)) ((50 columns, compact))
Alternative structure	Left step by Janet: ((Left step (with shell filling sequence)))
