Usage
editThis template contains color overrides for Module:Storm categories. These color overrides can either add an extra color to the template without adding a category, or override the color of an existing category or category alias for backwards compatibility. Make sure that added colors are compatible with black at a bare minimum, or else Module:Storm categories/demo will display errors as a check. As much as possible, also make the colors comply with at least the WCAG's AA-level for contrast with links and visited links. Additional warnings are shown by the demo template for these.
Overrides are defined in the following format:
-- For overrides that include the color of an existing category.
["override_id"] = cats["actual_category"].color,
-- For overrides that introduce a new color.
["override_id"] = "ff80ff",
