So I am trying to achieve the same thing as the OP of this thread wanted [1].

Basically, to get "green" color for "yes" and "red" color for "no" in the cells just like a standard comparison table on the Internet Wikipedia [2]. So I defined my table (simpliefied example) in the wiki page as follow:

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="1" class="wikitable sortable" |- ! A ! B |- | {{Yes}} | {{No}} |}

Obviously nothing happened with the above code i.e. I did not get any green or red background color in the cell. In an expected manner wiki engine displayed "Yes" and "No" with a "wanted link".

Now I am not sure if I have to create Templates called Template:Yes and Template:No? And if I do have to create these templates, what should be the content of those templates?

I am using MediaWiki 1.12 version.

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="1" class="wikitable sortable" |- ! A ! B |- | style="background-color:green" | {{Yes}} | style="background-color:red" | {{No}} |}

Essentially, you can use HTML attributes here.
