Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Editing/Allow text and table colour to be featured on the visual editor to change
Appearance
Allow text and table colour to be featured on the visual editor to change
- Problem: There isn't an option to change the colour of the text or table
- Who would benefit : Editors who can do tables in one go and people who make user pages
- Proposed solution : Adding the colour option for text and tables for English Wikipedia, using the colour chooser; with the most common colours, consider that it can just be picked off a preset option.
- More comments: If there is an option to make text bigger, why can't we have the option to change colour?

- This has been discussed in previous years. --Izno (talk) 04:59, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a colour book. I just like the standard CSS style. If we would require more colors at some places, then we might do this by using CSS code. Only then we are sure that the layout is always coherent. Geert Van Pamel (WMBE) (talk) 18:37, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Support changing table colour (as in individual cells) as this is an absolute pain when doing up results tables for sports, in that an editor must manually input the colour of every cell in the source editor. On the other hand, I do not support making text colour easier to change as this is significantly easier to do if needed but is not a common enough occurrence to be inconvenient, but could lead to vandalism. 5225C (talk • contributions) 00:09, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Oppose Adding semantics (through classes/templates) that use colors would be fine, but do not allow ordinary users to use arbitrary colors. Crissov (talk) 08:54, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
