{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}}
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.
This is the {{Notice}} message box. It should be used sparingly and only for significant information for which a more specific template doesn't exist.
This box automatically changes its style depending on what kind of page it appears; see {{Mbox}} for details.
Contents
Articles
-
{{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}
produces:
The box can be titled with an optional |heading=
(or |header=
) and |style=text-align:center;
can be added to center the text below it.
-
{{Notice |heading=Heading |style=text-align:center; |[[Lorem ipsum|Lorem ipsum (etc)]]}}
produces:
The message box can also take an |image=
parameter, but this is discouraged in articles. For an example of its use, see below.
Talk pages
On talk pages, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
produces:
|heading
/|header
also works, as well as setting the talkpage-only parameter |small=yes
, which alters the template's appearance thus:
-
{{Notice |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
produces ......
Setting the |image=
parameter changes the image shown on the lefthand side of the template.
-
{{Notice |image=Stop hand nuvola.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
produces:
(Note the effect of omitting |style=text-align:center;
here)
File and category pages
{{Notice |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
on a File: page would produce...
Other pages
On other pages, such as those in the User:, Wikipedia: and Help: namespaces, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
would produce:
External links and equals signs
In most cases, external links can be used in the template without any complications. If a link – or any text – contains one or more equals signs (" = "), however, everything before the first sign will be interpreted as the name of a parameter. To prevent this, name the text carrying the link as the first numbered parameter:
-
{{Notice |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.}}
produces:
Adding an image, shortcuts, etc on the righthand side
To add shortcuts, images, other templates, etc to the righthand side of the template, use |imageright=
. For example, {{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
produces:
{{Notice |imageright={{Shortcuts|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
includes the {{Shortcut}}s template providing links to You and Me:
Alternate shortcut option
As an alternative to imageright, the |shortcut=
(or |shortcut1=
) and |shortcutN=
parameters (where N = 2 to 5) may be used to display shortcuts. For instance, {{Notice |shortcut1=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
produces:
Note: If both imageright and any of the shorcut parameters are used, the contents of imageright will override the shortcut/s. For example, {{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |shortcut1=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum (etc)}}
produces:
