Vorlage:Version
Template documentation | This vorlage's accessibility is in question. The specific issue is: version information conveyed by background color has no text alternative. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Information on making articles more accessible can be found at WikiProject Accessibility. |

Usage
This template presents version history tables in a standardized format.
Many articles on Wikipedia use color-coded tables to illustrate the version or release history of software. The template has been imported from German Wikipedia, where it is used as the current standard for color-coding history tables.
This template is used within Wikitables, making use of the pipe syntax. Legends can be added as tables, as floating or non-floating containers. As colors are not visible to blind or visually-impaired readers, this template uses replacement information when necessary to improve accessibility, e.g. using the "title" attribute. (See Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility.)
When creating a version history, please note that less is more: Wikipedia is not a directory or changelog. Only important or major releases should be documented in Wikipedia. See the Manual of Style for Computing topics for further guidelines.
General look
| Version | Year | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 2010 | EOL versions |
| 2.0 | 2011 | LTS versions |
| 3.0 | 2012 | Current stable version |
| 4.0 | 2025 | Future release |
| Legend: Old version Older version, still supported Latest version Latest preview version Future release | ||
When to avoid
- Discontinued products
- For a product that is neither supported nor developed, each version would have the "EOL versions" description. Since no distinction would exist between version stages, the use of this template would lack any basis. A simple sentence or a
|discontinued=yesin the infobox would do admirably well.
- When there is always one stable supported version
- When there are no supported previous versions, preview versions, or announced future versions, the entire table would consist of red versions with a single green one at the very end. In such cases, the use of this template is discouraged.
Parameters
Legend box
| Parameter | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
1
|
Legend type | Either of the following generates a legend box. Acceptable values include:
|
show
|
Legend contents | This parameter is optional. By default the legend box contains the following six items:
This parameter allows each item to be displayed or hidden with digits. Each digit controls the state of its associated item in the above list.
Additional digits on the left are ignored. |
style
|
CSS styles | This parameter is optional. Use it to change the template's formatting, style and layout via CSS syntax.
In combination with the legend the specified CSS applies to the entire block. |
Table cells
| Parameter | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
1
|
Data type | Either of the following change the background color of the cell in which it is inserted:
|
2
|
Text | Specifies the text to display on screen, usually a version number or name of a specific version. |
style
|
CSS styles | This parameter is optional. Use it to change the template's formatting, style and layout via CSS syntax.
This parameter can be inserted into a table cell to enforce CSS definitions in that cell. |
sortKey
|
Sorting key | This parameter is optional. A sortkey is an invisible string used to change the way a certain table cell is sorted. For instance, normally, the phrase "ACME's Bow" is sorted with phrases that start with A. Affixing a sortkey of "Bow" to the phrase causes the phrase to be sorted with other phrases that start with "B" (or, to be more accurate, with "Bow").
For general information on sorting tables, see Help:Tables. |

Sortable tables
The template can be used in sortable tables. If the column version is sortable, the sort key defaults to the value of the version parameter. If you need differing sorting, add the sortKey parameter as follows:
| What you type | What it looks like | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
