మూస:Periodic table legend/doc

This template is a wrapper for a number of legends, each called a theme, used in periodic tables. Examples of themes are: category, block, state of matter. Each theme can have individual settings for that theme, for example to show "predicted" or "unknown".

Usage

The wrapper itself can have settings:

{{Periodic table legend
|child=yes/no (no: stand alone table; default=yes: inside another table, usually the PT table)
|caption= (text to appear as caption for the legend block)
|style= (set style)
...
|}

All parameters looks like:

{{Periodic table legend
|child=
|caption=
|style=

|theme1=
|text1=
|predicted1=
|sa1=
|eka-sa1=
|unknown1=
|border1=

|themeN=
|textN=
|predictedN=
|saN=
|eka-saN=
|unknownN=
|borderN=
<!-- (N = 1, 2, 3, 4) -->
}}

Example

{{Periodic table legend
|child=no
|caption=Example legend with three themes

|theme1=Category|predicted1=no|sa1=yes|eka-sa1=no|unknown1=yes
|theme2=State of matter|predicted2=no|sa2=yes|eka-sa2=no|unknown2=yes
|theme3=Occurrence|predicted3=no|sa3=yes|eka-sa3=no|unknown3=yes|border3=13
}}

Example legend with three themes

%omitted%
Metal							Metalloid	Nonmetal			Unknown chemical properties
Alkali metal	Alkaline earth metal	Inner transition metal			Transition metal	Poor metal		Polyatomic nonmetal	Diatomic nonmetal	Noble gas
		Super­actinide	Lan­thanide	Actinide

Border shows natural occurrence of the element:

Primordial

From decay

Synthetic

Undiscovered

Themes

The following themes are recognised (note: the caption links are added here for ease)

Category

|theme1=Category
|unknown1=yes
|predicted1=yes
|sa1=yes
|eka-sa1=yes
|text1=This is the legend theme "Category".

Theme description text options

• It is possible to override or suppress the theme description using |text1=:

|text1=My personal text → description as entered

|text1= (blank) → no description at all

| (omitted) → default description ("category metal–nonmetal ragne")

Technical

improvements to ponder

• Check (remove) repeated %-fonts (may be too small in the end - recently introduced?)
• Subpages are spelled using ..., so we can have /Category and /Category/sandbox.
• Always allow /sandbox systematically (change spellings?)
• /sandbox has link to source template; live one too by option
• Warn for "predicted"= unnumebred too
