 | This template is used on a very large number of pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This is the {{Ambox}} or Article message box meta-template.
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.
type=speedy – Speedy deletion issues, such as {{speedy}}. |
type=delete – Deletion issues, such as {{delete}}. |
type=style – Style issues, such as {{cleanup}} and {{underlinked}}. |
type=move – Merge, split and transwiki proposals, such as {{split}} and {{copy to Wiktionary}}. |
type=protection – Protection notices, such as {{pp-vandalism}} and {{pp-protected}}. |
If no type parameter is given the template defaults to |type=notice.
