Template documentationThis is the {{cmbox}} or category message box meta-template.
It is used to build message box templates for category pages, such as {{CatDiffuse}} etc. It offers several different colours, uses default images if no image parameter is given and it has some other features.
This template works almost exactly like {{ambox}} and uses the same parameters.

Usage
Simple usage example:
{{cmbox | text = Some text.}}
|
|
Some text. |
Complex example:
{{cmbox
| type = style
| image = [[Image:Emblem-question-yellow.svg|40px]]
| style = width: 400px;
| textstyle = color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;
| text = The message body text.
}}
 |
The message body text. |
Category 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=speedy – Speedy deletion templates. |
|
|
type=delete – Deletion templates. |
 |
type=content – Major warnings and problems. |
 |
type=style – Minor warnings and problems. |
|
|
type=notice – Notices and messages of any kind, both permanent and temporary. |
 |
type=move – Move, merge and split messages and proposals. |
 |
type=protection – Protection templates. |
Other images
The default images shown above are mostly for convenience. In many cases it is more appropriate to use more specific images. These examples use the image parameter to specify an image other than the default images.
 |
type = style image = [[Image:Sub-arrows.svg|40px]] This image is used for {{verylarge}} and {{CatDiffuse}}. |
Special
Some other parameter combinations.
|
|
No type and no image given (default) |
| No type and image=none – No image is used and the text uses the whole message box area. |
 |
image = [[Image:Gnome globe current event.svg|42px]] imageright = [[Image:Nuvola apps bookcase.svg|40px]] |

type
- If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type notice. That means it gets a blue 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:Sub-arrows.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.

" ". For example:style = margin-bottom: 0.5em;
