Template:Box

Template:Box is a general-purpose template meant to display Wikipedia-style boxes with information such as warnings about the content of a page.

More specific box templates include:

• Template:TipBox, for displaying notices, tips and miscellaneous information;
• Template:WarningBox, for displaying warnings and important notes;
• Template:SafeBox, for displaying validating information (e.g. see Template:Applicable to TDE).

These more specific templates should be preferred when possible to directly using this template.

Usage

To use this template, use {{Box|caption=...|text=...|icon=...|background=...|highlight=...}} on the target page.

• caption (optional) is the box caption;

• icon (optional) is the icon displayed by the text (default: File:Gear.png);
