Template:MessageBox/doc

MessageBox is a template for creating message boxes.

It is highly customizable with classes, inline styles, and provided CSS selectors. Optional features such as an image, left border, right-side text (for e.g. shortcuts), and a dismiss function.

It uses the Help:Lua|Lua templating language, and more information can be found w:c:dev:Global_Lua_Modules/Mbox|on the Global Lua Module page. This version is modified to produce a starter style, based on the w:c:dev:mediawiki:Global Lua Modules/Mbox.css|basic style from the module. To use the full capabilities of this module and remove the default styling, remove the indicated portions of Module:Mbox.

For a traditional wikitext version of this template, see Ambox on Templates Wiki.
