Template talk:Button
This template was copied off MediaWiki's sandbox. The following link overviews the template usage: [1]
It's been tweaked a bit to rid it of:
- a defunct parser function '#ifeq'; due to missing/disabled required MediaWiki Extention (at the time of editing the template); and
- calling another template; i.e., Linear-gradient, which in turn invokes a defunct parser function '#switch'.
The text styling parameter this '#ifeq' controls can still be passed via another available parameter; namely, 'style'. With the latter, one or more additional CSS properties and values can be passed, separated by semicolons, as well as must end with one (e.g. style=font-weight:bold;text-align:center;). Please, note that the double quotation marks are deliberately left out -- they should not be used in this style parameter.
The parameters this tweaked templates accepts are:
text
: Button text;padTB
: Top and Bottom padding (a number along with the unit);padLR
: Left and Right padding (a number along with the unit);bgcolor
: Button background colour; usually, in hexadecimal format, or any that accepted in inline styling;fgcolor
: Button text font colour; andstyle
: Any additional inline styling properties along with their values.
On the other hand, the following parameters have been dropped with this initial version of the template:
bgcolor1
,bgcolor2
: Button background gradient colours. Originally, they were passed to another template, Linear-gradient. Because it's omitted now, these colours are now hard-coded at the defaults: #FCFCFC and #E0E0E0, respectively.format
: It was bold text toggle. Instead, please use the style parameter as indicated earlier.

Two parameters where enabled to control the top-to-bottom linear gradient colours, of the button background:
LGtopcolor
: Gradient top, beginning colour;LGbtmcolor
: Gradient bottom, end colour.
Those two are passed to the template directly, without nesting any other templates. Renamed the original parameters for more convenience.
