This is the {{Notice}} message box. It should be used sparingly and only for significant information for which a more specific template doesn't exist.

This box automatically changes its style depending on what kind of page it appears; see {{Mbox}} for details.

Optional parameters

The box can be titled with an optional |heading= (or |header= or |title=). This is centered by default. This:
Template:In5{{Notice |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces an all-left notice:

Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.

It can be hard to notice a short heading on a wide monitor when it is centered. It can be moved to the left with |left=y. This:
Template:In5{{Notice |heading=Heading |left=y |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces an all-left notice:

Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.

The parameter |style=text-align:center; can be added to center the text below the heading (which is the left by default). This:
Template:In5{{Notice |heading=Heading |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces an all-centered notice:

Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.

The message box can also take an |image= parameter (with a value of just the bare filename of the image, without File:..., Image:..., or markup), but this is discouraged in articles. For an example of its use, see below.

See #Talk pages, below for the talkpage-only |small=y parameter. See also #Adding an image, shortcuts, etc., on the righthand side for additional parameters that work in talk and project pages but not articles.

Articles

{{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}} produces:

Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.

Talk pages

On talk pages, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

Page Module:Message box/tmbox.css has no content.

You may also set the talkpage-only parameter |small=yes, which alters the template's appearance thus:

Page Module:Message box/tmbox.css has no content.

{{Notice |small=yes |header=Header |style=text-align:center; |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces ......

Setting the |image= parameter changes the image shown on the lefthand side of the template.

{{Notice |image=Stop hand nuvola.svg |heading=Heading |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

Page Module:Message box/tmbox.css has no content.

(Note the effect of omitting |style=text-align:center; here)

File and category pages

{{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} on a File: page would produce... Page Module:Message box/imbox.css has no content.

... and, on a Category: page, would produce: Page Module:Message box/cmbox.css has no content.

Other pages

On other pages, such as those in the User:, Wikipedia: and Help: namespaces, {{Notice |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} would produce:

External links and equals signs

In most cases, external links can be used in the template without any complications. If a link – or any text – contains one or more equals signs (" = "), however, everything before the first sign will be interpreted as the name of a parameter. To prevent this, name the text carrying the link as the first numbered parameter:

{{Notice |1=Any text/links including "=" should now be interpreted correctly.}} produces:

Adding an image, shortcuts, etc., on the righthand side

To add shortcuts, images, other templates, etc. to the righthand side of the template, use |imageright=. This does not work in articles. For example, {{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

{{Notice |imageright={{Shortcuts|You|Me}} |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} includes the {{Shortcut}}s template providing links to You and Me:

Alternate shortcut option

As an alternative to imageright, the |shortcut= (or |shortcut1=) and |shortcutN= parameters (where N = 2 to 5) may be used to display shortcuts. For instance, {{Notice |shortcut1=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:

Note: If both imageright and any of the shorcut parameters are used, the contents of imageright will override the shortcut/s. For example, {{Notice |imageright=[[File:Wiki letter w.svg|40px]] |shortcut1=Me |shortcut2=You |shortcut3=Them |shortcut4=Us |shortcut5=Everyone |Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...}} produces:
