Usage
[edit]If an article does not meet the guideline for the use of colours, add this to the top of the article:
{{overcoloured}}
Alternatively, if the problem only affects one section of the article, add this to the top of the relevant section:
{{overcoloured|section}}
- If the article is written in United States English, add the
|US=yesoption to spell "colour" as "color" for WP:ENGVAR compliance. Calling the template as {{overcolored}} does this automatically. - This template takes an optional parameter that replaces the word "article" in the displayed message with arbitrary text. For example,
{{Overcoloured|section}}displays "This section may overuse colour..." - This template takes the optional parameter
|reason=, which can be used to explain what issues need to be addressed, e.g.|reason=The contrast of some of the colors used in this timeline is not high enough to be read easily by almost anyone.
Category
[edit]This template adds articles to Category:Wikipedia articles with colour accessibility problems.
