This is the {{tmbox}} or talk page message box meta-template.
It is used to build message box templates for talk pages.
This template works similarly to {{ambox}} and uses the same parameters.
Suggested style standard
The styles of talk page message boxes and the usage of this template is currently being standardised and discussed on the talk page of this template. Thus don't use this meta-template for real message boxes yet, but feel free to use it for testing. Discussions that lead to the creation of this template is available at the talk page of imbox.
Talk page message box types
These are the colours and styles that this meta-template currently produces. When this template is used to build actual message boxes they should contain the same (long) texts as before, with links to explanations and they can use more specific images than the default images shown here.
 | 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 – Merge, split, rename and transwiki messages and proposals. |
 | type=protection – Protection templates. |
Alternative suggestions for these styles are available at {{tmbox/sandbox}} and {{tmbox/test1}}. To discuss these boxes and to see or make other examples go to the talk page.
