Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is a wrapper for a number of legends, each called a theme, used in periodic tables. Each theme is a subtable that can have individual settings, for example to show "predicted".

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

|theme2=
|predicted2=
|sa2=
|eka-sa2=
|unknown2=
|border2=

    (same for theme3=, theme4=)
}}

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
}}

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

This is an 18-column periodic table layout, which has come to be referred to as the common or standard form, on account of its popularity. It is also sometimes referred to as the long form, in comparison to the short form or Mendeleev-style, which omits groups 3–12 by placing their elements into the main groups. The wide periodic table incorporates the lanthanides and the actinides, rather than separating them from the main body of the table in order to save space. The extended periodic table adds the 8th and 9th periods, including the superactinides.

Categories and subcategories in the metal–nonmetal range

Metal						Metalloid	Nonmetal			Unknown chemical properties
Alkali metal	Alkaline earth metal	Inner transition metal		Transition metal	Post-transition metal		Other nonmetal	Halogen	Noble gas
		Lanthanide	Actinide
