This is the {{dmbox}} or disambiguation footer message box meta-template.

This template works similarly to {{ambox}} and mostly uses the same parameters. The main differences are that this box uses the disambig style and only has two "type" settings.

Usage

Simple usage example:

{{dmbox | text = Some text.}}
{{dmbox | type = setindex | text = Some text.}}

Complex example:

{{dmbox
| type      = setindex
| image     = {{nowrap| [[Image:Schooner.svg|30px]] [[Image:List gray.svg|30px]] }}
| textstyle = color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;
| text      = The message body text.
}}

Some other parameter combinations:

Parameters

List of all parameters:

{{dmbox
| type  = disambig / setindex
| image = none / [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]]
| imageright = [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]]
| style = CSS values
| textstyle = CSS values
| text  = The message body text. 
}}

type

If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type disambig.
disambig = Makes it so the {{disambig editintro}} is displayed when editing a page with this template on. (Means that this template internally sets the CSS id "disambig". The id is used by the javascript in MediaWiki:Common.js to determine if a page is a disambiguation page or not.) And adds Category:All disambiguation pages and Category:All article disambiguation pages.
setindex = Does not trigger the {{disambig editintro}} when editing a page. (Because this instead sets the CSS id "setindexbox".) And adds Category:All set index articles.

category

Don't use this parameter, it is currently broken. I will fix that. --David Göthberg (talk) 21:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

image

No parameter = If no image parameter is given, the template uses the default disambig or setindex image, depending on the type parameter.
An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 30px - 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:Schooner.svg|30px]]
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. 30px - 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.

style

Optional CSS values used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks " " but with the ending semicolons ;. For example:
style = margin-bottom: 0.2em;

textstyle

Optional CSS values used by the text cell. For example:
textstyle = text-align: center;

text

The message body text. This message box has italic text as default, thus no need to manually set that.
