Template talk:Table cell templates

Issue with Dark mode.

When using Dark Mode, the {{Not yet}} template retains its light color.

The {{N/a}} template, however, changes color to match the mode.

If this is the wrong location, please let me know. Redacted II (talk) 01:43, 30 July 2024 (UTC) Courtesy links added, no content change. Primefac (talk) 13:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Sohom Datta, is this just a case of adding the var for dark mode as you did here? Primefac (talk) 13:20, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

It took a bit more messing around, but the template should be fixed :) Sohom (talk) 13:44, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Redacted II (talk) 14:01, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Noticing this particularly with {{TBA}}. Is the plan a generic fix, individual template fixes, or wait for dark mode to fix itself? (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 16:34, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Template not working well with sticky header templates

This template, transcluded by multiple other templates, or rather background colors aren't working well with {{sticky table start}} and {{sticky table end}}, both of which were recently created. It also may not work well with {{sticky header}}. Would separate "styles.css" subpage or a separate module fix the issues with those templates? George Ho (talk) 07:28, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

George Ho. Can you link to some example tables in articles, sandboxes, your user pages, etc.?

Jroberson108. I happened upon this talk page while trying to make colored table column headers screen reader accessible. Per:

Template talk:Sticky table start#Disable scroll window. And: Enable sticky headers

Actually, either pending or never mind for now. As I just found out, either {{won}} itself is the sole issue, or I didn't know how to properly use the {{won}} yet, not {{sticky table start}} yet. Indeed, '''{{won|place=1st}}''' doesn't render cell formatting properly. I tried other methods, so then I realized that the style parameter works for cell-formatting. Here's one sandbox version, but it's more about (improperly using) the {{won}} itself. I'll provide a more substantial example than this if I can. George Ho (talk) 21:13, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

@George Ho and Timeshifter: On Template:Table_cell_templates/doc#Templates, I replaced the surrounding div with the template and made row1 sticky then previewed it. I tried this with both sticky templates. The background colors still showed, even for {{won}}. Jroberson108 (talk) 21:19, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

See this version. I went ahead and made the top table header sticky for the table of templates. I don't have the time to make the side sticky work correctly since there are so many rowspans. Someone else can do that if they want. See how here:

• Template:Sticky table start

As Jroberson108 said I also don't see any background colors being removed by the sticky template. At least in Firefox on a Win 10 Pro PC. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Links in N/A are unreadable in dark mode

Currently, links in {{N/A}} are unreadable in dark mode, as the presence of the inline background property causes ext.wikimediamessages.styles/theme night.less to match the custom inline-style-color selector, which causes the color property to be set to var(--color-base-fixed, #202122).

I propose converting {{N/A}} to use TemplateStyles now that T360562 and T361934 are fixed. — ExE Boss (talk) 16:00, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@ExE Boss Huh, did you link to the wrong template {{N/A}} seems fine to me in dark mode. Can you give me a small testcase to reproduce what you are talking about. Sohom (talk) 17:14, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@Sohom Datta: It only happens on main namespace pages, see the “CPUID EAX=1: Processor Family IDs” table on CPUID § EAX=1: Processor Info and Feature Bits for an example. — ExE Boss (talk) 18:10, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

@ExE Boss That table seems fine to me, can you clip a picture of what you are seeing? Sohom (talk) 13:06, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

@Sohom Datta: On rows 3h and 8h, the links in the “Intel” column are too dark:

 Not done: I have fixed the immediate issue by unsetting the absolute color. This probably needs some further analysis (and potentially a phab bug). I'm marking this as not done since the template was not moved to use templatestyles. Sohom (talk) 04:36, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Has something changed?

Greetings to the experts!

I would like to ask for some information regarding the following. The WinDL template previously displayed a yellow or pink background under the entered result for a draw and loss. Etc.: {{WinDL|res=D|'''1'''–1}}

For example here: 2024–25 Debreceni VSC season#Milestones --> 50th appearances

Something has changed recently, as it no longer displays the result, only the letters D or L. I would like to ask for help to make the result visible again.

Thanks, Cakesam (talk) 23:44, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I still see the colours, and there have been no changes that would have affected that page (though an extra parameter was added). Primefac (talk) 12:25, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Primefac, thanks! I have found what must need for correct formula: text=.

Should the background color be removed from Row header

Currently Template:Row header sets a background color (and forces the text color to be black). This template is commonly used with heading cells which already set their own heading color which mostly results in cells using this template having a slightly different color from other heading cells. Should the custom styling for the color be removed here? As a bonus this would fix dark mode usage if the cells can just rely on the default coloring. YannickFran (talk) 19:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
