 | This template is used on approximately 8,000 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 one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | Uses Lua: |
This is the {{Ambox}} or Article message box meta-template.
MobileFrontend will treat this template as a page issue. If you don't want that MobileFrontend does so, you may use a different message box template. See also this page.
Parameters
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 {{Documentation needed}}. |
| type=notice — Notices, such as {{Extension exception}} and {{Translating}}. |
 | type=move — Merge, split and transwiki proposals, such as {{Merge}} and {{Move to Commons}}. |
 | type=protection — Protection notices, such as {{Pp-cascading}} and {{Protectedinterface}}. |
If no type parameter is given the template defaults to |type=notice.
