Vorlage:Cmbox/Doku

This is the {{cmbox}} or category message box meta-template.

It is used to create message box templates for category pages, such as {{CatDiffuse}} etc.

This template works exactly like {{ambox}} and uses the same parameters, see full documentation there.

Suggested style standard

The styles of category space 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 category message boxes yet, but feel free to use it for testing.

Category message box types

These are the colours and styles that this meta-template currently produces. When this template is used to build actual category 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.

To discuss these boxes and to see or make other examples go to the talk page.

Technical details

This template currently uses hard coded styles. Later it will use CSS classes enabling it to be skinned.
