Template:Messagebox
This template produces a wide message box capable of displaying various amounts of information in both its' title and body text along with an optional image. Generally used as a top-of-page notification informing the reader of the pages' or subject of interests' condition.
This is the base template that all other message box templates should inherit from, as it allows for cascading style changes i.e. any CSS changes made here will affect all children templates, preventing excessive work when a change is needed. It should generally only be used for making new templates, unless a single article has an edge case use for it.
Category:Notice_templates shows all notice templates.
