This is the {{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} message box. It should be used '''sparingly''' and only for {{#switch:{{BASEPAGENAME}}
  |Warning='''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.
  |<!--DEFAULT:-->'''significant''' information for which a more specific template doesn't exist.
  }} Less important comments should be put as regular text on the page's talk page instead.


This is the {{tl|notice}} message box.
==Usage==
 
'''<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1=Place notice text here. |heading=Optional heading above the text<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>'''
When used in articles this message box should only be used for ''important'' comments about the article that cannot be shown using a more specific template. Less important comments should as usual be put as text on the articles talk page instead.
 
This message box can also be used on other pages, such as on the top of talk pages or project pages. There it can be used in a more relaxed way.
 
This box looks different depending on what kind of page it is shown on.
 
== Articles ==
 
This is how this box looks on article (main space) pages. Here is a code example:
 
<pre>
{{notice|Include text here.}}
</pre>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{Notice|demospace=main|Include text here.}}
 
 
An optional '''header''' text can be added. Like this:
 
<pre>
{{notice|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
</pre>
 
Which renders like this:


{{Notice|demospace=main|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
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.


===Use in talk and userspace===
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.


The message box can also take an '''image''' parameter, see example further down for that.
===Optional parameters ===
The box can be titled with an optional {{para|heading}} (or {{para|header}} or {{para|title}}). This is left-aligned by default. This:<br />
{{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |[[Lorem ipsum|Lorem ipsum]] dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
produces an all-left notice:
{{{{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.}}


== Talk pages ==
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 />
This:<br />
{{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |align=center |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
produces:
{{{{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.}}


And this is how this box looks on any talk page. That is, pages that start with "Talk:", "User talk:", "Image talk:" and so on.
A shorthand parameter to center the heading and main text at the same time is {{para|center|y}}. This:<br />
{{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |center=y |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
produces:
{{{{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.}}


<pre>
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 />
{{notice|Include text here.}}
{{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |textstyle=text-align:center; font-variant:small-caps; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
</pre>
produces:
{{{{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.}}


Which renders like this:  
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 />
{{in5}}<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |heading=Heading |headstyle=text-align:center; color:red; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
produces:
{{{{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.}}


{{Notice|demospace=talk|Include text here.}}
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.


The '''header''' parameter works on talk pages too. But there is one parameter that only works on talk pages, the '''small''' parameter. Like this:
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.


<pre>
===Articles===
{{notice|small=yes|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
: <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:
</pre>
{{{{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.}}


{{notice|demospace=talk|small=yes|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
===Talk pages===
On talk pages, <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:
{{{{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.}}


As you can see, '''small''' causes a smaller right floating box with a smaller image and smaller text size.
You may also set the talkpage-only parameter {{para|small|yes}}, which alters the template's appearance thus:
<br clear=all>
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=talk |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center;<!--margin-bottom:2.0em;--> |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}
== Other pages ==
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>&nbsp;produces&nbsp;......
{{clear}}


And this is how this box looks on all other pages, such as pages that start with "User:", "Image:", "Wikipedia:" and so on.
Setting the {{para|image}} parameter changes the image shown on the lefthand side of the template.
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |image=Stop hand nuvola.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=talk<!--|style=margin-bottom:2.0em;--> |image=Stop hand nuvola.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}
(Note the effect of omitting {{para|style|text-align:center;}} here)


===File and category pages===
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> on a File: page would produce... {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|demospace=image<!--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.}}


{{tlx|Notice|small&#61;yes|Include text here.}}
===Other pages===
:''produces a smaller image:''
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:
{{Notice|small=yes|Include text here.}}
{{{{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.}}


===External links and equals signs===
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:
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.}}


{{tlx|Notice|image&#61;Stop hand nuvola.svg|Include text here.}}
===Adding an image, shortcuts, etc., on the righthand side===
:''produces a different image:''
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:
{{Notice|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Include text here.}}
{{{{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]]}}


==See also==
<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]]:
There are other message templates, which serve similar purposes:
{{{{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.}}

*{{tlx|Caution}} - For messages indicating serious problems.


====Alternate shortcut option====
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=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> produces:
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|style=margin-bottom:2.0em; |shortcut1=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}

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. Less important comments should be put as regular text on the page's talk page instead.

Usage

{{Notice|1=Place notice text here. |heading=Optional heading above the text}}

This box automatically changes its style depending on what kind of page it appears; see {{Mbox}} for details, and view the examples below for demonstrations.

Use in talk and userspace

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 signature at the end of the template's main content.

Optional parameters

The box can be titled with an optional |heading= (or |header= or |title=). This is left-aligned by default. This:
Script error: No such module "in5".{{Notice |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces an all-left notice:

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 |align=center.
[While |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.]
This:
Script error: No such module "in5".{{Notice |heading=Heading |align=center |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

A shorthand parameter to center the heading and main text at the same time is |center=y. This:
Script error: No such module "in5".{{Notice |heading=Heading |center=y |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

The parameter |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:
Script error: No such module "in5".{{Notice |heading=Heading |textstyle=text-align:center; font-variant:small-caps; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

Similarly, the parameter |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:
Script error: No such module "in5".{{Notice |heading=Heading |headstyle=text-align:center; color:red; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

The message box can also take an |image= parameter (with a value of just the bare filename of the image, without File:..., Image:..., or markup), but this is discouraged in articles. For an example of its use, see below.

See #Talk pages, below for the talkpage-only |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.

Articles

{{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}} produces:

Talk pages

On talk pages, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

Page Module:Message box/tmbox.css has no content.

You may also set the talkpage-only parameter |small=yes, which alters the template's appearance thus:

Page Module:Message box/tmbox.css has no content.

{{Notice |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} 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 dolor sit amet...}} produces:

Page Module:Message box/tmbox.css has no content.

(Note the effect of omitting |style=text-align:center; here)

File and category pages

{{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} on a File: page would produce...

... and, on a Category: page, would produce: Page Module:Message box/cmbox.css has no content.

Other pages

On other pages, such as those in the User:, Wikipedia: and Help: namespaces, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} 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=. This does not work in articles. For example,
{{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

{{Notice |imageright={{Shortcuts|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} 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 dolor sit amet...}} 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 dolor sit amet...}} produces:
