==Usage==
This is the {{tl|Notice}} message box. It should be used '''sparingly''' and only for '''significant''' information for which a more specific template doesn't exist. <!--[Also used in other namespaces:] Less important comments should as usual be put as text on the article's talk page instead.
This is the {{tl|notice}} message box.


This template should be used '''sparingly''' in articles, and 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 article's talk page instead.
This message box can also be used on other pages, such as on the top of talk or project pages. There it can be used in a more relaxed way.-->

This box automatically changes its style depending on what kind of page it appears; see {{tl|Mbox}} for details.


This box automatically changes style depending on what kind of page it is shown on. That is, it uses the standardised message box styles for the different types of pages.
===Articles===


=== Articles ===
: <code><nowiki>{{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}</nowiki></code> produces:
{{Notice|demospace=main|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}


This is how this box looks on article (main space) pages. Here is a code example:
The box can be titled with an optional {{para|heading}} (or {{para|header}}) and {{para|style|text-align:center;}} can be added to center the text below it:
: <code><nowiki>{{Notice |heading=Heading |style=text-align:center; |[[Lorem ipsum|Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)'']]}}</code> produces:
{{Notice|demospace=main|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |heading=Heading |style=text-align:center; |[[Lorem ipsum|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.]]}}


<pre>
The message box can also take an {{para|image}} parameter, but this is discouraged in articles. For an example of its use, see below.
{{notice|Include text here.}}
</pre>


Which renders like this:
===Talk pages===


{{Notice|demospace=main|Include text here.}}
On talk pages, <code><nowiki>{{Notice |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''}}</code> produces:
{{Notice|demospace=talk|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}


{{para||heading}}/{{para||header}} also works, as well as setting the talkpage-only parameter {{para|small|yes}}, which alters the template's appearance thus:
{{Notice|demospace=talk|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |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.}}
: <code><nowiki>{{Notice |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''}}</code> produces&nbsp;......
{{clear}}


The box can be titled with an optional '''header (heading)''', like this:
Setting the {{para|image}} parameter changes the image shown on the lefthand side of the template.
: <code><nowiki>{{Notice |image=Stop hand nuvola.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''}}</code> produces:
{{Notice|demospace=talk|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |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)


<pre>
===File and category pages===
{{notice|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
</pre>


or
<code><nowiki>{{Notice |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''}}</code> on a File: page would produce... {{Notice|demospace=image<!--file?-->|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |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: {{Notice|demospace=category|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}


<pre>
===Other pages===
{{notice|heading=Header text|Include text here.}}
</pre>


Which renders like this:  
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>{{Notice |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''}}</code> would produce:
{{Notice|demospace=wikipedia|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}


{{notice|demospace=main|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
===External links and equals signs===


In most cases, external links can be used in the template without any complications. If a link{{aside|or any text}} contains one or more equals signs ("{{padlr|&#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>{{Notice |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.}}</nowiki></code> produces:
{{Notice|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.}}


The message box can also take an '''image''' parameter, but that is discouraged when the box is used in articles. See example further down for how to use that parameter.
===Adding an image, shortcuts, etc on the righthand side===


=== Talk pages ===
To add shortcuts, images, other templates, etc to the righthand side of the template, use {{para|imageright}}. For example, {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}} produces:
{{Notice|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |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]]}}


This is how this box looks on any talk page. That is, pages that start with "Talk:", "User talk:", "Image talk:" and so on. Here's the basic box again:
{{plaincode|<nowiki>{{Notice |imageright={{Shortcuts|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}} includes the {{tl|Shortcut}}s template providing links to [[You]] and [[Me]]:
 
{{Notice|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |imageright={{Shortcuts|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}}
<pre>
{{notice|Include text here.}}
</pre>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{notice|demospace=talk|Include text here.}}
 
The '''header''' parameter works on talk pages too. But there is one parameter that only works on talk pages, the '''small''' parameter. Like this:
 
<pre>
{{notice|small=yes|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
</pre>
 
{{notice|demospace=talk|small=yes|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
 
As you can see, "small=yes" causes a smaller right floating box with a smaller image and smaller text size.
<br clear=all>
Let's try the '''image''' parameter too. Like this:
 
<pre>
{{notice|small=yes|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg
  |header=Header text|Include text here.}}
</pre>
 
{{notice|demospace=talk|small=yes|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|header=Header text|Include text here.}}
<br clear=all>
 
=== Image and category pages ===
 
This is how this box looks on image pages:
 
{{notice|demospace=image|Include text here.}}
 
This is how this box looks on category pages:
 
{{notice|demospace=category|Include text here.}}
 
=== Other pages ===
 
This is how this box looks on most other pages, such as pages that start with "User:", "Wikipedia:", "Help:" and so on.
 
<pre>
{{notice|Include text here.}}
</pre>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{notice|Include text here.}}
 
The box can also take an '''image''' parameter. Like this:
 
<pre>
{{notice|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Include text here.}}
</pre>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{notice|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Include text here.}}
 
The '''header''' and '''image''' parameters can of course be used at the same time.
 
=== Using external links ===
 
In most cases, external links can be used in the template without any complications. However, links containing an equal sign ( = ) are not read properly, because everything on the left of the equal sign is interpreted as a parameter name. This is the suggested work-around:
 
<pre>
{{notice|1=Following this parameter, an equal sign in an external link will be read properly.}}
</pre>
 
=== Adding shortcuts (or images to the right side) ===
 
To add shortcuts, images, or other templates to the right side of the image, the following syntax can be used:
 
<pre>
{{notice|Include text here.|imageright = IMAGE OR TEMPLATE }}
</pre>
 
For example, the following has the [[:File:Wiki letter w.svg]] picture included into it:
 
<nowiki>{{notice|Include text here.|imageright = [[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] }}</nowiki>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{notice|Include text here.|imageright = [[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] }}
 
The following has the {{Tl|Shortcut}} template included into it, with a link to [[You]] and [[Me]]:
 
<nowiki>{{notice|Include text here.|imageright =</nowiki> {{Tlx|Shortcut|You|Me}} <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{notice|Include text here.|imageright = {{Shortcut|You|Me}} }}


====Alternate shortcut option====
====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, {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{Notice |shortcut1=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}} produces:
{{Notice|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |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.}}


Alternately, instead of using the "imageright" parameter to input shortcuts, the "shortcut" parameter (as well as "shortcut2", "shortcut3", "shortcut4", and "shortcut5") can be used '''instead''' of "imageright". The following syntax can be used to add shortcuts:
''Note: If both imageright and any of the shorcut parameters are used, the contents of imageright will override the shortcut/s.''<br/>For example, {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |shortcut1=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum </nowiki>''(etc)''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}} produces:
 
{{Notice|style=margin-bottom:1.0em; |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |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.}}
<nowiki>{{notice|title=Include text here.|shortcut = Me | shortcut2 = You | shortcut3 = Them | shortcut4 = Us | shortcut5 = Everyone}}</nowiki>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{notice|title=Include text here.|shortcut = Me | shortcut2 = You | shortcut3 = Them | shortcut4 = Us | shortcut5 = Everyone}}
 
'''''Technical note''''': if both the "imageright" and the "shortcut" parameters are used, '''only''' the image/template in the "imageright" template will display. Here is an example of syntax with the "imageright" and "shortcut" parameters:
 
<nowiki>{{notice|title=Include text here.|imageright = [[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |shortcut = Me | shortcut2 = You | shortcut3 = Them | shortcut4 = Us | shortcut5 = Everyone}}</nowiki>
 
Which renders like this:
 
{{notice|title=Include text here.|imageright = [[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |shortcut = Me | shortcut2 = You | shortcut3 = Them | shortcut4 = Us | shortcut5 = Everyone}}

Revision as of 12:13, 5 December 2014

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.

This box automatically changes its style depending on what kind of page it appears; see {{Mbox}} for details.

Articles

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

The box can be titled with an optional |heading= (or |header=) and |style=text-align:center; can be added to center the text below it:

{{Notice |heading=Heading |style=text-align:center; |[[Lorem ipsum|Lorem ipsum (etc)]]}} produces:

The message box can also take an |image= parameter, but this is discouraged in articles. For an example of its use, see below.

Talk pages

On talk pages, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum (etc)}} produces:

|heading/|header also works, as well as setting the talkpage-only parameter |small=yes, which alters the template's appearance thus:

{{Notice |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum (etc)}} 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 (etc)}} produces:

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

File and category pages

{{Notice |Lorem ipsum (etc)}} on a File: page would produce...

... and, on a Category: page, would produce:

Other pages

On other pages, such as those in the User:, Wikipedia: and Help: namespaces, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum (etc)}} would produce:

External links and equals signs

In most cases, external links can be used in the template without any complications. If a linkTemplate:Aside contains one or more equals signs ("Template:Padlr"), 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=. For example, Template:Plaincode produces:

Template:Plaincode 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 {{{1}}} to 5) may be used to display shortcuts. For instance, Template:Plaincode produces:

Note: If both imageright and any of the shorcut parameters are used, the contents of imageright will override the shortcut/s.
For example, Template:Plaincode produces:
