- Notes
Unless in the case of personal use on a user page, use this template with great caution:
- a poor contrast may make the text difficult or impossible to read
- the contrast can be experienced as even poorer in the case of colour blindnes
- links have a color according to user settings; they become invisible if this color is equal to the background color.
