Standard style guide for Wiktionary inflection templates:

  • Objective is to make it easier for editors to create visually correct and appealing inflection templates that work in light and dark mode.
  • Must use colours from the palette
    • There is an opportunity to choose a colour that carries meaning for the language's community, in the way that Esperanto templates use green, etc.
    • We do need to add more colours - especially darker colours - to the palette, and maybe combine some of the lighter colours to avoid sprawling complexity.
  • Column and row headers should be in lowercase, in keeping with the vast majority of existing inflection tables.
  • Column and row header cells should have a background colour applied. All colour combinations must have sufficient contrast.
  • The innermost column/row of header cells should be in roman (not italic). If a second, outer header column/row is needed, these should be in italic.

The intent is to develop standard templates and CSS classes to aid in creating standardised inflection tables, so that editors don't have to resort to large amounts of inline CSS (as, for instance, the IP editor had to juggle recently at Template:af-adj-table-3). The demos on this page use hand-coded inline CSS for now.

Mockups - narrow layout

The narrow layout is intended for situations where the table has few columns, e.g. Indo-European noun declensions.

It automatically resizes to fit the content. It does not have a mandatory fixed width, nor does it fill the entire width of the page (unless its content is as wide as your screen - e.g. on mobile).

It can be set to collapsible if it has more than about 8 rows, or if many such templates are likely to appear consecutively. It certainly should not be set to collapsible if there are only a few rows ({{br-verb-mutation}} is an egregious case).

information I'm aware these tables are too wide when viewed on mobile. This is an artifact of the way this demo has been constructed, not an intentional change. Best to look at this on a computer for now.

{{de-ndecl}} Style B (with borders - using {{/inflection-table-top}} lightblue palette)
Herein lies the power of this system. This table has exactly the same wikitext code as the above table, except that the colour palette name has been changed from darkblue to lightblue.
Obviously there is a need for a less saturated lightblue palette!

Mockups - wide layout

This layout is for inflection tables with many columns, but also many rows, such that it is not possible to "transpose" the table to be taller than it is wide. (Taller tables are always preferable, as they are generally easier to navigate on mobile.)

This layout always fills the width of the page. It uses a slightly smaller (95%) font size. It is always collapsible.

The existing Romance verb conjugation tables are very similar to what I imagine this style to look like, although with additional padding to avoid ugly hard-cropped
text
that touches the edges of its cell.
