Template:Warning Template:High-use
{{ Font color }} is how you insert colorized text, such as red, orange, green, blue and indigo, and many others. You can specify its background color at the same time.
{{ Font color }} is also how you can color wikilinks to something other than blue for when you need to work within background colors. Normally [[ wikilink ]] → wikilink, but here we use a {{ font color }} with |link =
to create a black wikilink → wikilink You can make any text link to any page using the |link=
parameter.
This template will use the latest Wikipedia:HTML5 recommendations,Template:Clarify timeframe/sandbox inserting the span tags Template:Tag and Template:Tag for you, so your page increases its readability and usability in both the wikitext and the rendered page.
Template:Tlf has a one-color and a two-color form:
Either form has a |link= option, for colorizing (otherwise blue or red) wikilink text.
[[text]]
[[fullpagename]]
You can also name the other fields.
You can name |fg= or |bg=, which is nice, but... if you name either of them, you must also name |text=, which is a compromise. (See Help:Template#Parameters for why.)
Spacing is of no concern.

The |link=
parameter is a good way to colorize wikilinks, and it is about as much typing as the pipe trick.
Although a wikilink accepts a font color (or other template or markup):
Template:BigWikipedia:ExampleTemplate:Big{{font color|white|blue|the Wikipedia:Example page}}Template:Big
a font color does not accept a wikilink, it creates wikilinks itself with |link=
.
|link=
{{ font color }})For more examples see /testcases. For actual mainspace template usage, here are search links for
