This module contains configuration data for Module:Message box.

Configuration options

Option	Explanation
`types`	A table containing data used by the type parameter of the message box. The table keys are the values that can be passed to the type parameter, and the table values are tables containing the class and the image used by that type.
`default`	The type to use if no value was passed to the type parameter, or if an invalid value was specified.
`showInvalidTypeError`	Whether to show an error if the value passed to the type parameter was invalid.
`allowBlankParams`	Usually blank values are stripped from parameters passed to the module. However, whitespace is preserved for the parameters included in the `allowBlankParams` table.
`allowSmall`	Whether a small version of the message box can be produced with `\|small=1`.
`smallParam`	A custom value for the `\|small=` parameter. For example, if set to `"left"` you can produce a small message box using `\|small=left`.
`smallClass`	The class to use for small message boxes.
`substCheck`	Whether to perform a subst check or not.
`classes`	An array of classes to use with the message box.
`imageEmptyCell`	Whether to use an empty `‎<td>...‎</td>` cell if there is no image set. This is used to preserve spacing for message boxes with a width of less than 100% of the screen.
`imageEmptyCellStyle`	Whether empty image cells should be styled.
`imageCheckBlank`	Whether `\|image=blank` results in no image being displayed.
`imageSmallSize`	Usually, images used in small message boxes are set to 30x30px. This sets a custom size.
`imageCellDiv`	Whether to enclose the image in a `‎<div>` enforcing a maximum image size.
`useCollapsibleTextFields`	Whether to use text fields that can be collapsed, i.e. `"issue"`, `"fix"`, `"talk"`, etc. Currently only used in {{ambox}}.
`imageRightNone`	Whether `\|imageright=none` results in no image being displayed on the right-hand side of the message box.
`sectionDefault`	The default name for the `\|section=` parameter. Depends on `useCollapsibleTextFields`.
`allowMainspaceCategories`	Allow categorisation in the main namespace.
`templateCategory`	The name of a category to be placed on the template page.
`templateCategoryRequireName`	Whether the `\|name=` parameter is required to display the template category.
`templateErrorCategory`	The name of the error category to be used on the template page.
`templateErrorParamsToCheck`	An array of parameter names to check. If any are absent, the `templateErrorCategory` is applied to the template page.
