{{{text}}} |
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Ambox/doc.
If you wish to discuss general wordings, rather than the wording or formatting of this specific page, use the [[{{#TALKPAGENAME:Template:Ambox}}|talk page]], or else what you say will probably go unnoticed.
This is the {{ambox}} or article message box meta-template.
It is used to build article message box templates such as {{wikify}} etc. It offers several different colours, uses default images if no image parameter is given and it has some other features.
This meta-template uses the ambox CSS classes in MediaWiki:Common.css. The classes can also be used directly in a wikitable if special functionality is needed. See the how-to guide for that.
Usage
Simple usage example:
{{ambox | text = Some text.}}
|
Some text. |
Complex example:
{{ambox
| type = style
| image = [[Image:Emblem-question-yellow.png|40px]]
| style = width: 400px;
| textstyle = color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;
| text = The message body text.
}}
 |
The message body text. |
Article message box types
The following examples use different type parameters but use no image parameters thus they use the default images for each type.
 |
type=speedy – Speedy deletion issues, such as {{speeddel}}. |
 |
type=delete – Deletion issues, such as {{delete}}. |
 |
type=content – Content issues, such as {{POV}}. |
 |
type=style – Style issues, such as {{cleanup}} and {{wikify}}. |
|
type=notice – Article notices, such as {{current}} and {{inuse}}. |
 |
type=move – Merge, split and transwiki proposals, such as {{split}}. |
 |
type=protection – Protection notices, such as {{vandalism}} and {{semi-protected}}. |
Other images
The default images shown above are mostly for convenience. In many cases it is more appropriate to use more specific images. These examples use the image parameter to specify an image other than the default images.
 |
type = content image = [[Image:Unbalanced scales.png|40px]] This image is often used for {{POV}} and similar issues. |
 |
type = style image = [[Image:Wikitext.png|50px]] This image is often used for {{wikify}} etc. |
 |
type = move image = [[Image:Merge-arrows.png|50px]] This image is used for {{merge}} etc. |
Special
Some other parameter combinations.
|
No type and no image given (default) |
| No type and image=blank – Causes a blank area the same size as a default image. Makes the text line up well with other message boxes. |
| No type and image=none – No image is used and the text uses the whole message box area. |
 |
image = [[Image:Gnome globe current event.png|42px]] imageright = [[Image:Nuvola apps bookcase.png|40px]] |
 |
|
This article or section documents a current Event.
Content may change as the wiki progresses. |
 |
Parameters
List of all parameters:
{{ambox
| type = delete / content / style / notice / move / protection
| image = none / blank / [[Image:Some image.png|40px]]
| imageright = [[Image:Some image.png|40px]]
| style = CSS value
| textstyle = CSS value
| text = The message body text.
}}
type
- If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type notice. That means it gets a blue side bar.
image
- No parameter = If no image parameter is given the template uses a default image. Which default image it uses depends on the type parameter.
- An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (Images over 52 pixels width will cause padding problems.) For example:
image = [[Image:Unbalanced scales.png|40px]]
- none = Means that no image is used.
- blank = Means that no image is used but an empty area the same size as a default image is used, which means that text in the message box gets aligned well with other article message boxes. (See the "special" examples above.)
imageright
- No parameter = If no imageright parameter is given then no image is shown on the right side.
- An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (Images over 52 pixels width will cause padding problems.) For example:
imageright = [[Image:Nuvola apps bookcase.png|40px]]
- Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.
style
- An optional CSS value used by the entire article message box table. Without quotation marks
" ". For example:style = margin-bottom: 0.5em;
textstyle
- An optional CSS value used by the text cell. For example:
textstyle = text-align: center;
text
- The message body text.
