message: Please remove the usage section and replace it with the  template as I've created a documentation subpage at Template:Fontcolor/doc. A specific description of the request follows below. Thanks.
Change this:

{{#if:{{{3|}}}|<span style="background-color:{{{2|inherit}}};color:{{{1|inherit}}};">{{{3|}}}</span>|<span style="color:{{{1|inherit}}};">{{{2|}}}</span>}}<noinclude>
== Usage ==
<nowiki>{{fontcolor|text_color|background_color|text}}
Examples of use:
*{{fontcolor|green|this is about plants}}: :(it appears in green text).
*{{fontcolor||red|text in red background}}: :(no parameters are used for the text color, only for the background)
*{{fontcolor|red|yellow|red text with yellow background}}: 
== See also ==
* HTML color names
* List of colors
Category:text color templates
pt:Predefinição:Fontcolor

To this:

{{#if:{{{3|}}}|<span style="background-color:{{{2|inherit}}};color:{{{1|inherit}}};">{{{3|}}}</span>|<span style="color:{{{1|inherit}}};">{{{2|}}}</span>}}<noinclude>

message: I added  to  to add a wikilink. The use is when the blue link would be non-accessible on a background such as a navbox header. A search shows this use is prevelant.

thread_title:  Link 

message: One, two lines of the template were setting the background colour to  in the two-parameter case, where the second parameter is the text to be displayed, not a colour name.
Two, when templates are expanded as part of a signature, the software does not remove the comments. So the comment in the first #if was breaking the logic of the template; the #if was always coming out true. This behaviour could also be seen in the result from Special:ExpandTemplates. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:12, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two problems 

message: Per sandbox and new testcases, named parameters now work for   and .
If this is OK, yet not documented withing a while, I'll document it. 
fg=1 bg=2 text=3. Link=4 was already there. — CpiralCpiral 08:30, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added more named parameters 

message: Space characters did not need to define colors,
nor be used in a label field to add space outside the template.
So I made the space issue go away in the sandbox and redid all the testcases. 
Then I did this search link 
and fixed a few minor things in those to feel totally right about swapping it into service.— CpiralCpiral 12:48, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: , I know that however the problem is, that template uses named parameters but an unnamed parameter of font should be here too. Empire AS  (Talk)  07:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not quite sure what you're proposing (you could mock it up the sandbox if you want to demonstrate), but generally I think it's not a good idea to expand the functionality of this template beyond just selecting the color. If we were to do that we'd just want to merge it with .  talk 08:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parameter request 

message: Currently, if a link is colored using this template, the underline is not colored appropriately, e.g. .  properly handles this via the CSS text-decoration: inherit; I'd personally suggest to just shell out to  when this template is used to color a link, but the CSS could also be added here directly. 「ディノ奴千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 11:53, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
