Module:Message box
This module creates standardized message boxes such as {{ambox}}, {{imbox}}, {{ombox}}, etc. It is a Lua implementation of the various "box" templates and should be used via those templates, not directly.
Usage
You normally do not call this module directly. Instead, use one of the wrapper templates:
- {{ambox}} – for article message boxes
- {{imbox}} – for file and image pages
- {{tmbox}} – for talk page message boxes
- {{ombox}} – for other namespaces
- {{cmbox}} – for category pages
Each wrapper template passes parameters to this module to generate a consistent, styled message box.
Parameters
The wrapper templates accept the following parameters:
- type
- The type of message box. Examples: speedy, delete, content, style, notice, protection.
- This controls the color and icon.
- image
- Optional custom image/icon (overrides default).
- text
- The main message text shown in the box.
- small
- If set to "yes", produces a smaller version of the box.
- style
- Additional CSS styling applied to the box.
- class
- Adds custom classes to the message box.
Example
{{ambox
| type = content
| text = This article needs additional references for verification.
}}
