<p>Created page with " {{#ifeq: {{BASEPAGENAME}} | Notice | {{Confused|Template:Note}} }} {{Documentation subpage}} <br /> {{#ifeq: {{BASEPAGENAME}} | Notice |<br /> {{Confused|Template:Note}}<br /> }}<br /> {{Documentation subpage}}<br /> <br /> {{Used in system}}<br /> {{Never substitute}}<br /> {{#ifeq: {{BASEPAGENAME}} | Notice |<br /> {{Template shortcut|info|inbox}}<br /> {{Template redirect|Infonote}}<br /> }}<br /> This is the {{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} message box. It should be used {{strong|sparingly}} and only for {{#switch:{{BASEPAGENAME}}<br /> |Warning={{strong|important}} warnings about an article or a user that cannot be shown using a more specific template. Please only use it when something is seriously wrong and other people might not otherwise know about it.<br /> |{{strong|significant}} information for which a more specific template doesn't exist.<br /> }} Less important comments should be put as regular text on the page's talk page instead.<br /> <br /> ==Usage==<br /> {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1{{=}}{{var|Notice text}}|heading{{=}}{{var|Optional heading above the text}}}}<br /> <br /> This box automatically changes its style depending on what kind of page it appears; see {{tl|Mbox}} for details, and view the examples below for demonstrations.<br /> <br /> ===Use in talk and userspace===<br /> Outside "important" locations like mainspace, policy pages, and noticeboards, this message box can also be used on other pages in a more relaxed way, such as on the top of talk page alerts, WikiProject pages, userspace pages, etc. Talk and noticeboard cases should probably include your [[WP:Signature|signature]] at the end of the template's main content.<br /> <br /> ===Optional parameters ===<br /> The box can be titled with an optional {{para|heading}} (or {{para|header}} or {{para|title}}). This is left-aligned by default. This:<br /><br /> {{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |[[Lorem ipsum|Lorem ipsum]] dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br /> produces an all-left notice:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main |heading=Heading |style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> It can be hard to notice or read short heading and/or message on a wide monitor when they centered. For long content, it can be centered with {{para|align|center}}.<br />{{small|1=[While {{para|align|right}} is a valid value, it will only be useful when this template is ported to right-to-left language Wikipedias, and shouldn't be used on English Wikipedia or it will be difficult to read.]}}<br /><br /> This:<br /><br /> {{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |align=center |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br /> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main |heading=Heading |style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |align=center |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> A shorthand parameter to center the heading and main text at the same time is {{para|center|y}}. This:<br /><br /> {{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |center=y |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br /> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main |heading=Heading |style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |center=y |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> The parameter {{para|textstyle}} can be used to pass arbitrary inline CSS to the main note content. For example, one could center small-caps text below a left-aligned heading; this:<br /><br /> {{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |textstyle=text-align:center; font-variant:small-caps; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br /> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main |heading=Heading |style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |textstyle=text-align:center; font-variant:small-caps;|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> Similarly, the parameter {{para|headstyle}} can be used to pass arbitrary inline CSS to the heading content. For example, one could center a red heading above a left-aligned message; this:<br /><br /> {{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |headstyle=text-align:center; color:red; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br /> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main |heading=Heading |style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |headstyle=text-align:center; color:red;|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> The message box can also take an {{para|image}} parameter (with a value of just the bare filename of the image, without <code>File:...</code>, <code>Image:...</code>, or markup), but this is discouraged in articles. For an example of its use, see below.<br /> <br /> See [[#Talk pages]], below for the talkpage-only {{para|small|y}} parameter. See also [[#Adding an image, shortcuts, etc., on the righthand side]] for additional parameters that work in talk and project pages but not articles.<br /> <br /> ===Articles===<br /> : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> ===Talk pages===<br /> On talk pages, <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=talk|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> You may also set the talkpage-only parameter {{para|small|yes}}, which alters the template's appearance thus:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=talk |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>&nbsp;produces&nbsp;......<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> Setting the {{para|image}} parameter changes the image shown on the lefthand side of the template.<br /> : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |image=Codex icon InfoFilled blue.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br /> : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |image=Codex icon Clock blue.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main |image=Codex icon InfoFilled blue.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=main |image=Codex icon Clock blue.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> (Note the effect of omitting {{para|style|text-align:center;}} here)<br /> <br /> ===File and category pages===<br /> <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> on a File: page would produce... {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=file|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}} ... and, on a Category: page, would produce: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=category|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> ===Other pages===<br /> On other pages, such as those in the [[Wikipedia:User pages|User:]], [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia namespace|Wikipedia:]] and [[Wikipedia:Help namespace|Help:]] [[Wikipedia:Namespaces|namespaces]], <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> would produce:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=wikipedia|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> ===External links and equals signs===<br /> In most cases, external links can be used in the template without any complications. If a link &ndash;&nbsp;or any text&nbsp;&ndash; contains one or more equals signs (" &#61; "), 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:<br /> : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.}}<br /> <br /> ===Adding an image, shortcuts, etc., on the righthand side===<br /> To add shortcuts, images, other templates, etc. to the righthand side of the template, use {{para|imageright}}. This does not work in articles. For example,<br /><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |imageright=<nowiki>[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}}</nowiki></code> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]]}}<br /> <br /> <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |imageright=<nowiki>{{Shortcuts|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}}</nowiki></code> includes the {{tl|Shortcut}}s template providing links to [[You]] and [[Me]]:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |imageright={{Shortcut|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> ====Alternate shortcut option====<br /> As an alternative to imageright, the {{para|shortcut}} (or {{para|shortcut1}}) and {{para|shortcut''N''}} parameters (where {{nowrap|''N'' {{=}} 2}} to 5) may be used to display shortcuts. For instance, <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |shortcut1=One |shortcut2=Two |shortcut3=Three |shortcut4=Four |shortcut5=Five |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |shortcut1=One |shortcut2=Two |shortcut3=Three |shortcut4=Four |shortcut5=Five |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> ''Note: If both imageright and any of the shorcut parameters are used, the contents of imageright will override the shortcut/s.'' For example,<br /><code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |imageright=<nowiki>[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |shortcut1=Horse |shortcut2=Dog |shortcut3=Pig |shortcut4=Cow |shortcut5=Umbrella |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}}</nowiki></code> produces:<br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |shortcut1=Horse |shortcut2=Dog |shortcut3=Pig |shortcut4=Cow |shortcut5=Umbrella |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}<br /> <br /> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}} and warning templates}}<br /> <br /> <includeonly>{{Sandbox other|<br /> | <br /> [[Category:Notice and warning templates]]<br /> [[Category:Talk header templates]]<br /> <br /> <br /> }}</includeonly><br /> <templatedata><br /> {<br /> "params": {<br /> "1": {<br /> "label": "Contents",<br /> "description": "Main content of the notice box",<br /> "type": "content",<br /> "required": true<br /> },<br /> "demospace": {},<br /> "style": {},<br /> "image": {},<br /> "imagealt": {},<br /> "small": {},<br /> "imageright": {},<br /> "shortcut": {},<br /> "shortcut1": {},<br /> "shortcut2": {},<br /> "shortcut3": {},<br /> "shortcut4": {},<br /> "shortcut5": {},<br /> "textstyle": {},<br /> "center": {<br /> "label": "Center",<br /> "description": "Whether to center the body text",<br /> "example": "y",<br /> "type": "string",<br /> "suggestedvalues": [<br /> "y",<br /> "n"<br /> ]<br /> },<br /> "align": {<br /> "type": "string",<br /> "suggestedvalues": [<br /> "left",<br /> "center",<br /> "right"<br /> ]<br /> },<br /> "header": {},<br /> "heading": {<br /> "label": "Heading",<br /> "description": "Title of the notice box",<br /> "type": "content"<br /> },<br /> "title": {},<br /> "headstyle": {},<br /> "text": {},<br /> "content": {},<br /> "reason": {}<br /> },<br /> "description": "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.
