WikiTemp contains various Compatibility lists (or Compatibility tables).

When creating a new Compatibility list, preferably name the page as "(subject) Compatibility List", where (subject) is the thing the list is created for.
The first text on the page should explain what (subject) is, preferably with relevant links.
Posting guidelines should be put above the compatibility list, if applicable.
Lists that use a table format should explain their individual columns.
List pages must explain how to edit the list. If a template is used for the rows, this must also be noted, and a blank template must be provided for easy copying.
List pages must be categorized in Category:Compatibility Lists. Additional relevant categories must be added as well (if any).
List pages must have template {{Compat legend}} above the actual list.
Compatibility tables must use the class compatibilitytable (or compattable)

Compatibility lists make use of certain CSS classes to provide their colors. This has several advantages:

Shorter code on the page and the resulting HTML
Provides more consistency across pages.
People can easily customize colors through personal site CSS or browser extensions like Stylish.

An overview of the classes used and their meaning:

The meanings of the colors are further explained in the compatibility legend on each compatibility list page.
