Editing Template:Table cell templates/doc (section)

== Creating new templates ==
To make a new table cell template you can use:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline=yes>{{subst:Table cell templates|text= default text |bg= background color |class= a class name without prefix |align= standard horizontal alignment}}</syntaxhighlight>

You should leave out the <code>align</code> parameter and often the <code>class</code> parameter is unnecessary, too.

Add the new template to the table in the [[Template:Table cell templates/doc|common documentation]] afterwards. Please consider reusing one of the other templates and please choose the color sensibly.

If you find a table cell template that does not take a parameter and you want to be able to change the text in the cell, ''do not'' duplicate the template! Instead, edit the template and change the text to a default parameter substitution.  For example, if a template's text is <code>Dropped</code>, change that to <code><nowiki>{{{1|Dropped}}}</nowiki></code>.

:<syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>style="background: #abcdef; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align: {{{align|center}}}; {{{style|}}}" class="automatic table-automatic"| {{{1|text}}}</syntaxhighlight>
