GoArch:Color schemes

The Archive has color schemes for every Major Guild available to use in tables and infoboxes. These can be used to group certain types of content thematically across the Archive; for example, the infobox for an Age uses the "writers" color scheme, while the infobox for devices uses the "mechanists" color scheme.

Using color schemes

Tables

For more information about creating tables with wiki markup, see Help:Tables.

To use a color scheme in a table, add class="wikitable colorscheme" to the first line of your table definition, where colorscheme is the name of the scheme you want to use. You can also apply a specific color scheme to an individual row or cell by adding class="colorscheme" to that specific section of the table.

By default, tables are not styled. Adding only the wikitable class will create a table with gray cells, similar to the design used for linguists.

Navboxes & infoboxes

The definition list-based navbox, {{navboxdl}}, can also be themed using the same schemes. To use a color scheme in a navbox, add the bodyclass parameter and specify the scheme you want to use.

The same code can be added to the {{infobox}} template's parameters to create an infobox using that color scheme.

If no color scheme is specified, navboxes and infoboxes will use the archivists scheme by default.

Thematic applications

As mentioned above, these schemes can be used to create a consistent look to certain types of content throughout the Archive. These are some of the existing ways that these color schemes are being used:

archivists (default)

Archive-related navigation and information.

books

Infoboxes about written works that are not Ages.

chemists

Infoboxes about plants.

greeters

Infoboxes about people.

healers

Infoboxes about animals.

maintainers

Infoboxes for DRC-related materials.

mechanists

Infoboxes about machines and other devices.

stonemasons

Infoboxes for buildings and other structures.

surveyors

Infoboxes about places and locations.

writers

Infoboxes for articles about Ages, navboxes for groups of Ages (such as {{Ages written by Atrus}}).

Visual list of schemes

Below is a complete list of all 18 available color schemes, as they appear when used in a table. To see what they look like when used in a navbox, see the {{navboxdl}} template's documentation. When used in an infobox, they look similar to the way their appearance in a table.
