Template:Notice/doc

From MansunWiki
Jump to: navigation, search


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

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

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:

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

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

Notice Notice: Header

Template:!-

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

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

File and category pages

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

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

Other pages

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

Notice 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 – 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:
Notice Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.

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, {{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |Lorem ipsum (etc)}} produces:

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

{{Notice |imageright={{Shortcuts|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum (etc)}} includes the {{Shortcut}}s template providing links to You and Me:

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

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 (etc)}} produces:

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

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 (etc)}} produces:

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