{{T|MessageBox}} is a template for creating message boxes.
{{delete|Parent template for this doc is not on this wiki}}
 
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 [[w: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 [[w:c:templates:Template:Ambox|Ambox on Templates Wiki]]'''.

For examples of how to use these parameters, see [[#Examples]].

|-
| <code>id</code>
| By default, one close button will close all mboxes on the page. However, to change this, this parameter may be used, given as the name of the mbox implementation (e.g., "Template:Cleanup" would have <code><nowiki>|id=cleanup</nowiki></code>).
| No
| —
|-
| <code>collapsed</code>
| By default, the mbox will be uncollapsed, and the full contents will be shown. However, to change this, this parameter may be used to set an mbox as collapsed by default (e.g., <code><nowiki>|collapsed=true</nowiki></code> would set the mbox to be collapsed by default).
| No
| —
|}
 
==Design==
Some communities may wish to customize the appearance of the mboxes. The most common styling options are provided illustrated in CSS.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="css" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
.mbox {
    /* the background of the entire box */;
    background-color: ;
 
    /* the border color of the entire box */
    border-color: ;
 
    /* the border thickness of the entire box */
    border-width: ;
 
    /* the default thick left border color; note this can be changed from within the template implementations using the "color" parameter */
    border-left-color: ;
 
    /* the rounded-ness of the corners */;
    border-radius: ;
 
    /* the baseline font-size of the mbox */
    font-size: ;
}
 
.mbox__content {
    /* the padding inside the mbox */
    padding: ;
}
 
.mbox__content__image {
    /* the minimum width of the mbox's image (if bigger, use the "imagewidth" parameter in the template) */
    width: ;
 
    /* the spacing to the left of the text (i.e., the right of the image) */
    padding-right: ;
}
 
.mbox__content__text__comment {
    /* the size of the text in the "comment" parameter */
    font-size: ;
}
 
.mbox__content__aside {
    /* any particular modifications to the "aside" area can go here */
 
    /* the maximum width of the aside area */
    width: ;
}
 
.mbox__close {
    /* the appearance of the close symbol here */
}
 
.mbox__close:after {
    /* overwrite "content" here if you do not wish for the close symbol to be × */
    content: '';
}
 
.mw-collapsed + .mbox__close {
  /* modifications to the close symbol when the box is closed */
}
 
.mw-collapsed + .mbox__close:after {
  /* overwrite "content" here if you do not wish for the close symbol to be + when the box is closed */
  content: '';
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
; Technical notes
* Additional inline styles to the root <code>.mbox</code> element can be achieved via the <code>style</code> parameter in the template.
 
== Examples ==
=== Basic MessageBox ===
<pre>
{{MessageBox
|header      = Header text here
|text        = Normal text here
|id          = test1
}}</pre>
 
Produces:
 
{{#invoke:Mbox|main
|header      = Header text here
|text        = Normal text here
|id          = test1
}}
 
=== Using types ===
To use types, CSS variables must be added, such as:
<syntaxhighlight lang="css">
:root {
    --type-important: rgba(200, 0, 0, 0.8);
    --type-moderate: rgba(233, 124, 47, 0.8);
    --type-minor: rgba(241, 197, 37, 0.8);
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
If added:
 
<pre>
{{MessageBox
|header = Header text here
|type  = important
|text  = Normal text here
|id    = test2
}}</pre>
 
Produces:
 
{{#invoke:Mbox|main
|header = Header text here
|type  = important
|text  = Normal text here
|id    = test2
}}
 
Depending on your styling, there may not be a visual difference in the above example.
 
=== With an image ===
<pre>
{{MessageBox
|header    = Header text here
|text      = Normal text here
|image      = Wiki.png
|imagelink  =
|imagewidth = 50px
|id        = test3
}}</pre>
 
Produces:
 
{{#invoke:Mbox|main
|header    = Header text here
|text      = Normal text here
|image      = Wiki.png
|imagelink  =
|imagewidth = 50px
|id        = test3
}}
 
=== With an aside ===
<pre>
{{MessageBox
|header = Header text here
|type  = important
|text  = Normal text here
|aside  = Aside text here
|id    = test4
}}</pre>
 
Produces:
 
{{#invoke:Mbox|main
|header = Header text here
|type  = important
|text  = Normal text here
|aside  = Aside text here
|id    = test4
}}
 
=== Standard/default style ===
<pre>
{{MessageBox
|header  = Header text here
|text    = Normal text here
|comment = Comment text here
|image  = Wiki.png
|aside  = Aside text here
|id      = standard
}}</pre>
 
Produces:
 
{{#invoke:Mbox|main|header=Header text here |text=Normal text here |comment=Comment text here |image=Wiki.png |aside=Aside text here |id=standard}}
