Template documentation

This is the {{Ambox }} or Article message box meta-template.

MobileFrontend will treat this template as a page issue. If you don't want that MobileFrontend does so, you may use a different message box template. See also this page.

Parameters

type

The type parameter defines the colour of the left bar, and the image that is used by default. The type is chosen not on aesthetics but is based on the type of issue that the template describes. The seven available types and their default images are shown below.

If no type parameter is given the template defaults to |type=notice.

small=left
