This is the {{tl|Notice}} message box. It should be used '''sparingly''' and only for '''significant''' information for which a more specific template doesn't exist. <!--[Also used in other namespaces:] Less important comments should as usual be put as text on the article's talk page instead.
This is the {{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} message box. It should be used '''sparingly''' and only for {{#switch:{{BASEPAGENAME}}
|Warning='''important''' warnings about an article or a user that cannot be shown using a more specific template. Please only use it when something is seriously wrong and other people might not otherwise know about it.

== Usage ==
This message box can also be used on other pages, such as on the top of talk or project pages. There it can be used in a more relaxed way.-->


'''<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1=Place {{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} text here. |heading=Optional heading above the text<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>'''
This box automatically changes its style depending on what kind of page it appears; see {{tl|Mbox}} for details.

=== Use in talk and userspace ===

Outside "important" locations like mainspace, policy pages, and noticeboard, this message box can also be used on other pages in a more relaxed way, such as on the top of talk page alerts, wikiproject pages, userspace pages, etc. Talk and noticeboard cases should probably include your [[WP:Signature|signature]] at the end of the template's main content.
