Usage[edit]

This template is compatible
with dark mode.

This template shows a single explanation inside a collapsible, coloured box, and is meant to be transcluded once per comic on a page such as explain xkcd:Explanation Improvement Project.

Parameters:

  • 1 (required): the comic to display, in the form 1234: Title of the Comic. This is always used as the anchor id for the section (so links such as #1234: Title of the Comic work). If 2 is not supplied at all, 1 is also the comic whose explanation is shown, and the box background is var(--background-color-neutral, #eaecf0) (grey).
  • 2 (optional): if this parameter is supplied at all, even with an empty value, the box background switches to var(--background-color-option-lime, #e3f2e4) (green), and the comic whose explanation is shown becomes whatever 2 holds, with 1 then only used for the anchor id and no longer for the shown explanation.

Summary of behaviour:

Call Anchor id Comic shown Background colour
{{Nominate|1234: Title}} 1234: Title 1234: Title (from 1) grey, var(--background-color-neutral, #eaecf0)
{{Nominate|1234: Title|5678: Other title}} 1234: Title 5678: Other title (from 2) green, var(--background-color-option-lime, #e3f2e4)
{{Nominate|1234: Title|}} (2 given but empty) 1234: Title nothing shown, since 2 is empty green, var(--background-color-option-lime, #e3f2e4)
