Template:Cmbox/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cmbox. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{cmbox}} or category message box meta-template.
It is used to create message box templates for category pages, such as {{CatDiffuse}} etc.
This template works exactly like {{ambox}} and uses the same parameters, see full documentation there.
Suggested style standard
The styles of category space message boxes and the usage of this template is currently being standardised and discussed on the talk page of this template. Thus don't use this meta-template for real category message boxes yet, but feel free to use it for testing.
Category message box types
These are the colours and styles that this meta-template currently produces. When this template is used to build actual category message boxes they should contain the same (long) texts as before, with links to explanations and they can use more specific images than the default images shown here.
