Template:Clickable button

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

This template styles a link like a button, using the deprecated mediawiki.ui.button module. This expands the clickable area and tap target for the link.

Usage

wikilink

Unnamed first parameter; the title of the page being linked. Brackets are not necessary

display (optional)

|color= or |class=

Color to display. |color= accepts blue and red, |class= accepts mw-ui-progressive and mw-ui-destructive

|url=

Use this parameter set to "no" to display a button without linking to anything

Adding an icon

Adding an icon to a button should be avoided. Don't forget to hide the icon from the accessibility DOM by wrapping it in a span that is aria-hidden="true" so that a screen reader doesn't read it out loud.

<span class="mw-ui-button mw-ui-progressive"><span aria-hidden="true">[[File:OOjs UI icon logo-wikimediaCommons-invert.svg|15px|link=|alt=]]</span>&nbsp;More details</span>
