This template is used in many system messages. |
|
This is the {{fmbox}} or footer & header message box template.
It can be used to build message boxes for system messages such as MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon. It can also be used for footer and header boxes on user pages and for editnotices.
This template works similarly to {{ambox}} and mostly uses the same parameters. The main differences are that this box is 100% wide and has different colour styles.

Usage
Simple usage example:
{{fmbox | text = Some text.}}
![]() |
Some text. |
Complex example:
{{fmbox | type = editnotice | image = [[Image:Emblem-question-yellow.svg|40px]] | style = border: 1px solid #f4c430; | textstyle = color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; | text = The message body text. }}
![]() |
The message body text. |
Footer and header message box types
The following examples use different type parameters but use no image parameters thus they use the default images for each type.
![]() |
type=warning – System warning notices such as MediaWiki:Revision-info and MediaWiki:Protectedpagewarning. |
![]() |
type=editnotice – Transparent background for editnotices. |
![]() |
type=system – Light grey system message background (default). |
Other images
The default images shown above are mostly for testing and demonstration. In most cases it is more appropriate to use a more specific image or no image at all. These examples use the image parameter to specify an image other than the default image.
![]() |
image = [[Image:User-info.svg|40px]] This image is used for MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer. |
![]() |
image = [[Image:Commons-logo.svg|40x40px]] Note the use of "40x40px" to also limit the height of the image. This image is used for MediaWiki:Sharedupload. |
Special
Some other parameter combinations.
![]() |
No image given (default) |
image=none – No image is used and the text uses the whole message box area. |
![]() |
image = [[Image:User-info.svg|40px]] imageright = [[Image:Nuvola apps bookcase.svg|40px]] |
![]() |
Parameters
List of all parameters:
{{fmbox | type = system / editnotice / warning | image = none / [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]] | imageright = [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]] | id = CSS id | class = CSS class names | style = CSS values | textstyle = CSS values | text = The message body text. }}
type
- If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type system. That means it gets a light grey background.
image
- No parameter = If no image parameter is given the template uses a default image. Which default image it uses depends on the type parameter.
- An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:
image = [[Image:User-info.svg|40px]]
- none = Means that no image is used.
imageright
- No parameter = If no imageright parameter is given then no image is shown on the right side.
- An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:
imageright = [[Image:Nuvola apps bookcase.png|40px]]
- Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.
id
- Optional CSS id used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks
" "
. Mostly meant to be used to tag a message box with its name, to make it easy to detect the presence of the message from javascript. For instance MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer would use:id = sp-contributions-footer
class
- Optional CSS class names used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks
" "
. Mostly meant to be used to tag a message box with its name so it can be individually skinned. For instance MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer would use:class = sp-contributions-footer
style
- Optional CSS values used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks
" "
but with the ending semicolons;
. For example:style = margin-top: 1em;
textstyle
- Optional CSS values used by the text cell. For example:
textstyle = font-size: 90%; text-align: center;
text
- The message body text.

- {{ambox}} – For article message boxes.
- {{tmbox}} – For talk page message boxes.
- {{imbox}} – For file (image) page message boxes.
- {{cmbox}} – For category message boxes.
- {{ombox}} – For other pages message boxes.
- {{mbox}} – Has namespace detection, for message boxes that are used on several types of pages and thus need to change style depending on what page they are used on.
