Top row background color

{{table | {{tr | {{th|colspan=3|bgcolor=rgba(0,0,0,0.5)|{{hl2|4}} Chapters}} | bgcolor={{{{{game|hl2}}}|col}} }} <!-- ... --> }}

Half-Life 2 Chapters

Apparently you'd like to use a fitting background color for the top row for each game. Instead of hard coding it for each game, like #403305 that you used for hl2, you can - if it fits to your plans - make use of {{Hl2|col}} for that matter, or more precisely: {{{{{game}}}|col}}. Using this, the background color adapts to the {{{game}}}. Using a second half transparent black background color, you can darken the game's color. This should work out as long as the game color is not too dark. :)

In addition, this would mean that you don't need to #switch for the game right at the beginning of the template (in which case you could also just make a template for each game's chapters), instead after the table's top row. That should decrease redundance at least a bit.

Adding a collapsible to the table

I finally was able to make it work, but not how the todo wants it, because of how it implements the elements, so this is the example from Template:Chapters/sandbox:

Toggle chapters Half-Life 2 ChaptersToggle chapters
Point Insertion d1_trainstation_01	"A Red Letter Day" d1_trainstation_05	Route Kanal d1_canals_01	Water Hazard d1_canals_06
Black Mesa East d1_eli_01	"We Don't Go To Ravenholm..." d1_town_01	Highway 17 d2_coast_01	Sandtraps d2_coast_09
Nova Prospekt d2_prison_02	Entanglement d2_prison_06	Anticitizen One d3_c17_02	"Follow Freeman!" d3_c17_09
Our Benefactors d3_citadel_01	Dark Energy d3_breen_01

Although there can be an option like {{{state}}} to set it collapsed or not, since centering the title is shit but atleast it works.

(Edit: added a state on the sandbox now the chapters is collapsed) --N0one (talk) 10:44, 27 May 2025 (PDT)

Typo that I don't know where to fix.

"This template uses a Testcases subpage
You can test how this page looks with it's different skins and parsers." Where is the template that contains this so that I (or someone else) can fix the typo? "it's" should be "its". Dogman15 (talk) 02:55, 3 November 2025 (PST)

Fixed it. The changes will appear on your side after purging the page cache for pages that use that template. Cvoxalury (talk) 23:29, 3 November 2025 (PST)
