Template documentation- Description
This is the {{Ambox}} or Article message box meta-template.
- Usage
{{Ambox|type=content|text=my text here}}, or
{{Ambox|type=speedy|text=my text here}}, etc
- type
The type parameter defines the color of the left bar, and the image that is used by default. The type is chosen not on aesthetics but is based on the type of issue that the template describes. The seven available types and their default images are shown below.
 | type=speedy – Speedy deletion issues, such as {{speedy}}. |
| type=delete – Deletion issues, such as {{delete}}. |
 | type=content – Content issues, such as {{POV}} and {{globalize}}. |
 | type=style – Style issues, such as {{cleanup}} and {{underlinked}}. |
 | type=notice – Article notices, such as {{current}} and {{in use}}. |
 | type=move – Merge, split and transwiki proposals, such as {{split}} and {{copy to Wiktionary}}. |
 | type=protection – Protection notices, such as {{pp-vandalism}} and {{pp-protected}}. |
If no type parameter is given the template defaults to |type=notice.
