{{mboxMbox templates (small)}}
 
This is the {{tl|tmboxTmbox}}, or (['''talkT''']alk page message['''m''']essage ['''box''',]) meta-templatemetatemplate. This template is called by other templates to give a consistent structure and appearance to boilerplate messages used on talk pages across the project. It ''may'' be called directly on a talk page in order to present a one-off message in the same format as boilerplate messages, but this is non-standard (if a message is important enough to be presented in this form, you should consider creating a separate template so that it is easily available to other editors). Tmbox offers several different colors for different purposes, provides default images if no image parameter is given, and has some other pleasant features. This template works similarly to {{tl|amboxAmbox}} and uses the same parameters.
 
This template should not be used for WikiProject banners. Such banners have special programming constraints that merit their own meta-templates. See the "See also" section below for links.

'''name'''
:(Optional) Name of the template. This adds a CSS class with name <code>box-''name''</code> to the HTML element, for use by bots or scripts.
 
'''type'''
Line 133 ⟶ 139:
:Optional [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] values used by the text cell. For example:
::<code>textstyle = text-align: center;</code>
 
'''plainlinks'''
:Normally on Wikipedia, external links have an arrow icon next to them, like this: [http://www.example.com Example.com]. However, in message boxes, the arrow icon is suppressed by default, like this: <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.example.com Example.com]</span>. To get the normal style of external link with the arrow icon, use {{para|plainlinks|no}}.
 
'''text'''
Line 211 ⟶ 220:
This template uses the tmbox CSS classes in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] for most of its looks, thus it is fully skinnable.
 
This template calls {{tl|tmbox/core}}[[Module:Message box]] which holds most of the code for {{tl|tmbox}}, while {{tl|tmbox}} itself does parameter preprocessing.
 
Internally this meta-template uses HTML markup instead of wiki markup for the table code. That is the usual way we make meta-templates since wiki markup has several drawbacks. For instance it makes it harder to use [[m:Help:ParserFunctions|parser functions]] and special characters in parameters.

WikiProject banners:
* {{tl|WikiProjectBannerShellWikiProject banner shell}} and {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} – A system for collapsing, wrapping and creating WikiProject banners.
* {{tl|WikiProjectBanners}} – Another system for collapsing WikiProject banners.
