This article may overuse or misuse color, making it hard to understand for color-blind users. Please remove or fix instances of distracting or hard-to-read colors or remove colored links that may impede user ability to distinguish links from regular text, or color links for purely aesthetic reasons. See the guides to editing for accessibility at contrast and colors.

Usage

If an article does not meet the guideline for the use of colours, add this to the top of the article:

{{overcoloured}}

Alternatively, if the problem only affects one section of the article, add this to the top of the relevant section:

{{overcoloured|section}}
  • If the article is written in United States English, add the |US=yes option to spell "colour" as "color" for WP:ENGVAR compliance. Calling the template as {{overcolored}} does this automatically.
  • This template takes an optional parameter that replaces the word "article" in the displayed message with arbitrary text. For example, {{Overcoloured|section}} displays "This section may overuse colour..."
  • This template takes the optional parameter |reason=, which can be used to explain what issues need to be addressed, e.g. |reason=The contrast of some of the colors used in this timeline is not high enough to be read easily by almost anyone.

Category

This template adds articles to Category:Wikipedia articles with colour accessibility problems.
