This template provides a simple and lean way to build a colored periodic table. Used in a wikitable, it produces a link to a element page and a background color.

Example Hg, in wikitable:

 {|
 |-
 | {{element cell-1|80|Y}}
 |}
Hg

It is suited for talkpages; for article space it may be too simple. Precoded PTs for copy-paste are available:

Used in wikitable pattern: {| |- | {{element cell-abc|80|Hg}} |}
All cell templates produce a table cell output in pattern:
style="background:#12abdf;" | [[Gold]]
Note that there is the pipe symbol (|) in the middle (added by the template), separating cell style and cell content.

{{element cell

| 2= Element name (and default page link; see also 'link=' parameter)
| 3= Symbol
| 4= (not used)
| 5= State of matter (sets font color)
| 6= Metal–nonmetal category name (sets background color, see also bg=)

| border= Sets border style (overrides 7. Like: border=3px solid red)
| bg= Background color (overrides 6; can look like bg=#aabbcc)

The template produces a content in formatted CSS style for a single element cell (to be used in a periodic table).

A simple list can be made easily:

H H He Li Be B

All parameters are optional.

{{element cell-1
| 1= atomic number Z
| 2= bg color (R,G,B,Y,W,X,C or "#abe5ff", "lightgreen", "poor metal" &tc.)
}}
