Template:Talk

Copy/paste
For a very basic Talk bubble, the following can be input: &lt;onlyinclude>&lt;/onlyinclude>

You are also required to add the UserTalk templates category. To do this, add:

immediately below your Talk template.

Basic parameters
Not all of these parameters are optional, though most are expected.

Font customization
The following parameters allow you to customize the colors or families of the fonts on your talk bubble.

Colors
Any color can be chosen using color name, RGB, RGBA, or hexadecimal formats.

Advanced customization
The following parameters are all completely optional, and used for users who would prefer to customize their templates more heavily to deviate from the rest.

Classes
This template uses a number of CSS classes that can be changed in your personal CSS. The entire talk bubble (including the image) uses the class "talk". The image uses the class "image". The entire box uses the class "box". The text that displays what the user says uses the class "text".

Every user who has a talk bubble also has their own CSS class. The CSS class is "user-[Username]". If the username uses spaces, then underscores will be used in the CSS class instead.

Technical
This metatemplate is fairly complicated. Editing it requires a good understanding of Lua syntax or general programming knowledge. For help editing, or using, contact the designers for help.

In order to use the module, the Scribunto MediaWiki extension is required.

Development credit
The Talk bubble was originally created on this wiki by TacticAngel, and existed originally Template:TacticAngelText prior to metatemplating. Since then, the community as a whole have significantly modified and changed it, and the Talk template has seen use on several other wikis. The metatemplating was done mostly by JBed. The rewriting as a Lua Module was done mostly by Catuse167, once again with JBed's help.
