The template produces a content in formatted CSS style for a single element cell (to be used in a periodic table). It is part of a series.

All parameters are optional.

{{element cell
| 1= atomic number Z
| 2= element name
| link= wikipedia page (creates a wikilink like [[Mercury (element)|mercury]]. Formerly parameter 8=)
| 3= symbol
| 4= (not used)
| 5= state of matter (sets font color)
| 6= metal–nonmetal category name (sets background color)
| bg= background color (overrides 6; can look like bg=#aabbcc. Formerly parameter 9=
| 7= occurrence (sets cell border style)
| border= sets border style, (overrides 7. Like: border=3px solid red)
| style= adds or overrides style settings (do not add the "" quotes)

| title= (mousehover text, overrides title composed from 2: 6; 5; 7)
| legend= (overrides legend text that was composed from 6; 5; 7)
}}

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

&lt;nowiki>

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

[[Mercury (element)]]

, the correct pagename can be set through

link=Mercury (element)

.

Label

The link is labeled with parameter 3 (usually the symbol):

link=[[Aluminium|Al]]

.

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:

bg=#aabbcc

. 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

{{{1}}}

. 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:

style=width:5em;

. 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:

Mercury: transition metals; primordeal; liquid


When parameters

bg

or

border

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

title=...
Legend

The legend is composed from parameters 6, 5 and 7. It can be overridden by using

legend=Special meaning

. (This can be useful in combination with setting

bg=...

).

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

Pages that could have issues with this template are listed in Category:Element pages that need attention for the legend for maintenance. January 2012 के अनुसार .
