How to change font color | Miraheze | Page 1

I know exporting templates from wikipedia is highly discouraged because of all the amount of dependencies but I managed to reduce one (https://argobdp.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Collapsible_list / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Collapsible_list) enough to work for what I need it to do (I tried using mw-collapsible before but it's too bouncy and hard to click + doesn't have a title function afaic). However the problem is that I have no idea how to change the list's font color (|lI.‸.), I've tried looking around and nothing I do seems to change it (I'm starting to believe there's some css to style the list I'm missing somewhere but idk).

I also found a kind of solution by adding a font color template (as seen below in the pic and in https://argobdp.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Gaocchi~/sandbox ) however I don't think that's practical enough to be the most reasonable thing to use.

Thanks in advance~

https://argobdp.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css#L-76 is setting the font colour

but wouldn't that make the font blue instead of white? since that includes 「content: '🟄 ' 」 as well ThinkerMH

(you can use the parameters data-collapsetext and data-expandtext to set a custom word that isn't "collapse" or "expand" on a regular mw-collapsible element)

(I know you said you won't use it here, but just for future reference if you decide to!)

That does work, thank you (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) (and it somehow fixes my issue of mw-collapse being wonky and I'm tbh up to using anything)! However, how can I remove the border? I have the feeling this is css related too lol (or maybe because it's inside a table)

Let meeeee get to my computer, one moment

#

https://argobdp.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Timeless.css#L-262 is adding a border to buttons, which is therefore adding it to the collapse/expand you have implemented here

Btw there's https://dev.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Collapse which I wrote a while ago. It may not fit your particular needs but you may find it easier to tweak compared with the one from Wikipedia.

I did see it (thank you for all the amazing templates you make btw) but the border was a bit of a problem (ᴗ_ ᴗ。)

Yes, but it would also affect any other buttons on your wiki that would be included by that rule. If you don't want to edit the module to add a specific class or id to this element, you can add the following line of CSS:

  border: none !important;}```
or
```.mw-parser-output button:is(.mw-collapsible-toggle-default), button:is(.mw-customtoggle), button:is(.mw-collapsible-toggle) {
    border: none !important;}```
The use of `!important` here is needed because the other CSS in Line 262 would otherwise override the specificity of these classes

I used the first one because I'd get a pop-up saying the second one contains an error, it did remove the border from the button but not from the table ThinkerMH

#

which part of the table are you trying to remove? (there's a lot of borders there so I'm just trying to make sure)

#

this border here surrounding the whole conversation

#

but if it's not possible fixing it it's ok because I did find a solution for my og problem Σ(°ロ°)

#

turns out the template I use for the dialogue is set to have a white font so I can just make a copy of the template with black (did this preview test)
