Template:Ombox/doc

This is the ombox or other spaces message box meta-template.

It is used to build message box templates for other pages than those covered by ambox, imbox, cmbox and tmbox.

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

Suggested style standard
The styles of "other pages" 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.

Other pages 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.

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

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