This template uses Lua:

Module:Message box

This is the {{ombox}} or other pages message box meta-template.

It is used to build message box templates for pages of the types: User, Wikipedia, MediaWiki, Template, Help, Portal and any new future namespaces. That is, page types not covered by {{ambox}}, {{tmbox}}, {{imbox}} or {{cmbox}}. Thus, it should not be used for boxes for articles, talk pages, image pages or category pages.

This template works almost exactly like {{ambox}} and uses the same parameters.

Introduction[Quelltext bearbeiten]

As noted above, this template should be used for message boxes that are not articles, talk pages, image pages or category pages. Some message boxes for other pages may incorrectly use one of those four mentioned. Feel free to convert any message boxes used on "other pages" to use this meta-template. If you find any tricky cases then list them on the talk page of this template and you'll get help.

When this template is used to build other pages message boxes those boxes should contain explanatory texts just like before. (The same texts as before or new improved texts.) If there are more specific images in the boxes or you know a better image, then use them instead of the default images shown here.

Usage[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Simple usage example:

{{ombox | text = Some text.}}

Some text.

Complex example:

{{ombox
| type      = style
| image     = [[File:{{Image mapper|Emblem-question-yellow}}|40px]]
| style     = width: 400px; 
| textstyle = color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;
| text      = The message body text.
}}

The message body text.

Other pages message box types[Quelltext bearbeiten]

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 templates.

type=delete – Deletion templates.

type=content – Major warnings and problems, such as {{high-risk}}.

type=style – Minor warnings and problems. {{intricate}} should perhaps use this type.

type=notice – Notices and messages of any kind, both permanent and temporary. Such as {{guideline}} and {{Wikipedia how to}}.

type=move – Merge, split, rename and transwiki messages and proposals.

type=protection – Protection templates such as {{pp-protected}} when shown on "other pages".

Examples[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Some examples using the "notice" style:

No type and no image given (default)

No type and image=none – No image is used and the text uses the whole message box area.

image = [[File:{{Image mapper|Gnome globe current event}}|42px]]
imageright = [[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola apps bookcase}}|40px]]

This page documents an English Wikipedia guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should follow, though it should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception.

Shortcut {{Template shortcut}}

This page in a nutshell: This template is used to build message boxes for all pages that are not articles, talk pages, image pages or category pages.

Parameters[Quelltext bearbeiten]

List of all parameters:

{{ombox
| type  = speedy / delete / content / style / notice / move / protection
| image = none / [[File:Some image.svg|40px]]
| imageright = [[File:Some image.svg|40px]]
| style = CSS values
| textstyle = CSS values
| text  = The message body text. 
| small = {{{small|}}} / yes
| smallimage = none / [[File:Some image.svg|30px]]
| smallimageright = none / [[File:Some image.svg|30px]]
| smalltext  = A shorter message body text.
}}

type

If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type notice. That means it gets a gray border.

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. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:

image = [[File:{{Image mapper|Crystal package settings}}|40px]]

none = Means that no image is used.

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. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:

imageright = [[File:Nuvola apps bookcase.svg|40px]]

Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.

style

Optional CSS values used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks " " but with the ending semicolons ;. For example:

style = margin-bottom: 0.5em;

textstyle

Optional CSS values used by the text cell. For example:

textstyle = text-align: center;

text

The message body text.

The small parameters[Quelltext bearbeiten]

small = yes

type = style
small = yes

small

yes = Makes it a smaller right floating message box. This also makes the default images smaller. Note that any data fed to the smallimage, smallimageright and smalltext parameters is only used if "small=yes". To make it so your template also understands the small parameter you can use this code:

small = {{{small|}}}

small = yes
image = [[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola apps bookcase}}|50px]]
smallimage = [[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola apps bookcase}}|32px]]

smallimage

No parameter = If no smallimage parameter is given then this template falls back to use the image parameter. If the image parameter also is empty then a small default image is used.

An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 30px width is usually about right. For example:

smallimage = [[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola_apps_bookcase}}|30px]]

none = Means that no image is used. This overrides any image fed to image, when "small=yes".

small = yes
imageright = [[File:{{Image mapper|Nuvola apps bookcase}}|50px]]
smallimageright = none

smallimageright

No parameter = If no smallimageright parameter is given then this template falls back to use the imageright parameter. If the imageright parameter also is empty then no image is shown on the right side.

An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 30px width is usually about right. For example:

smallimageright = [[File:Nuvola apps bookcase.svg|30px]]

Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.

none = Means that no right side image is used. This overrides any image fed to imageright, when "small=yes".

smalltext

A shorter version of the message body text. If no smalltext parameter is given then this template falls back to use the text parameter.

Technical details[Quelltext bearbeiten]

If you need to use special characters in the text parameter then you need to escape them like this:

{{ombox
| text  = <div>
Equal sign = and a start and end brace { } work fine as they are. 
But here is a pipe {{!}} and two end braces <nowiki>}}</nowiki>. 
And now a pipe and end braces <nowiki>|}}</nowiki>.
</div>
}}

Equal sign = and a start and end brace { } work fine as they are. But here is a pipe | and two end braces }}. And now a pipe and end braces |}}.

This template uses the ombox CSS classes in MediaWiki:Common.css for most of its looks, thus it is fully skinnable.

Internally this meta-template uses HTML markup instead of wiki markup for the table code. That is the usual way we make meta-templates since wiki markup has several drawbacks. For instance it makes it harder to use parser functions and special characters in parameters.

For more technical details see the talk page. Since this template works almost exactly like {{ambox}}, {{tmbox}}, {{imbox}} and {{cmbox}} their talk pages and related pages might also contain more details.
