Usage

The template produces format and content for a compact cell (to be used in a periodic table, navbox style). It is part of a series. Used in:

• {{Periodic table (32 columns, compact)}} -- Common navbox
• {{Extended periodic table (by Fricke, 32 columns, compact)}}
• (and more)

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

{{element cell
| 1= atomic number
| 2= element name
| 3= symbol
| 4= (not used)
| 5= (state of matter, not used)
| 6= metal–nonmetal category name (sets background color)
| 7= occurrence (not used)
| link= wikipedia page (overrides 2; creates a wikilink like [[Mercury (element)|mercury]])
| bg= background color (overrides 6; can look like bg=#aabbcc)
| border= (not used)
| style= adds or overrides style settings (do not add the "" quotes)
| title= (mousehoover text, overrides title composed from 2: 1; 6)

| link=
| border=
| bg=

}}

Example Hg, in wikitable:

 {|
 |-
 | {{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 <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none"><nowiki></syntaxhighlight> tags in parameter #1 like this:

 | {{element cell|<nowiki>*</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 <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">[[Mercury (element)]]</syntaxhighlight>, the correct pagename can be set through <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">link=Mercury (element)</syntaxhighlight>.

Label

The link is labeled with parameter 3 (usually the symbol): <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">link=[[Aluminium|Al]]</syntaxhighlight>. 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: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">bg=#aabbcc</syntaxhighlight>. 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 <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">{{{1}}}</syntaxhighlight>. 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: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">style=width:5em;</syntaxhighlight>. 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: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">Mercury: transition metals; primordeal; liquid</syntaxhighlight>
When parameters <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">bg</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">border</syntaxhighlight> 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 <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">title=...</syntaxhighlight>

Legend

The legend is composed from parameters 6, 5 and 7. It can be overridden by using <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">legend=Special meaning</syntaxhighlight>. (This can be useful in combination with setting <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">bg=...</syntaxhighlight>).

Example using parameters

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