This is the documentation page for ਮੌਡਿਊਲ:College color/data

This Lua module is used on 50,000+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.

This is the data module used by Module:College color. Color contrast should meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0's AAA level when feasible. Please test any changes in Module:College color/data/sandbox first.

Format

Most lines will be of the following form

 ["TEAM NAME"] = {"HEX1", "HEX2", name1="...", name2="...", cite="...", cite2="..."},

or

 ["TEAM NAME"] = {"HEX1", "HEX2", "HEX3",  name1="...", name3="...", cite="...", cite2="..."},

The trailing comma is very important. Here, HEX1, HEX2, and HEX3 are hexadecimal color values. The name1, name2, and name3 are to display the names of the school colors in the infoboxes. The cite and cite2 parameters are used to supply up to two full citations with a URL for verification of the colors for a school's entry. Unsourced entries that are challenged may be deleted.

To use the same color for more than one team name (e.g., if the team goes by more than one name, but the colors are the same), use

 ["SECONDARY TEAM NAME"] = "TEAM NAME",

where TEAM NAME has already been defined, and SECONDARY TEAM NAME is the alternative spelling, or name.

Warning

Be very careful when updating this module, as it is used in a large number of articles. Please test any changes in Module:College color/data/sandbox first.

Test table

Script error: No such module "College color/contrast".

As a guide to selecting foreground and background colors for text, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (guideline 1.4) classifies contrast ratios for ordinary text as follows:

WCAG 2.0 text contrast ratios
Font size	Not Compliant	Level AA	Level AAA
Normal	< 4.5	4.5 to 7.0	> 7.0
Large (18 pt or 14 pt bold)	< 3.0	3.0 to 4.5	> 4.5

Normal wiki-text is rendered by common browsers at roughly 9.5 to 10.5 pt (12.5 to 14 px), depending on skin. Text would need to be about 180% or 140% bold to qualify as "Large" for WCAG purposes.
