Module:Message box

Module documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a meta-module that implements the message box templates {{mbox}}, {{ambox}}, {{cmbox}}, {{fmbox}}, {{imbox}}, {{ombox}} and {{tmbox}}. It is intended to be used from Lua modules, and should not be used directly from wiki pages. If you want to use this module's functionality from a wiki page, please use the individual message box templates instead.

Usage

To use this module from another Lua module, first you need to load it.

local messageBox = require('Module:Message box')

To create a message box, use the main function. It takes two parameters:

• the first is the box type (as a string).
• the second is a table containing the message box parameters.

local box = messageBox.main( boxType, {
	param1 = param1,
	param2 = param2,
	-- More parameters...
})

There are seven available box types:

Box type	Template	Purpose
mbox	{{mbox}}	For message boxes to be used in multiple namespaces
ambox	{{ambox}}	For article message boxes
cmbox	{{cmbox}}	For category message boxes
fmbox	{{fmbox}}	For interface message boxes
imbox	{{imbox}}	For file namespace message boxes
tmbox	{{tmbox}}	For talk page message boxes
ombox	{{ombox}}	For message boxes in other namespaces

See the template page of each box type for the available parameters.

Usage from #invoke

As well as the main function, this module has separate functions for each box type. They are accessed using the code {{#invoke:Message box|mbox|...}}, {{#invoke:Message box|ambox|...}}, etc. These will work when called from other modules, but they access code used to process arguments passed from {{#invoke:...}}, and so calling them will be less efficient than calling main.

Technical details

The module uses the same basic code for each of the templates listed above; the differences between each of them are configured using the data at Module:Message box/configuration.

The above documentation is transcluded from Module:Message box/doc. (edit | history)
Editors can experiment in this module’s sandbox (edit | diff) and testcases (create) pages.
