Icons appear on the left side of the message box. Unlike mbox, alert uses an {{w\|emoji}} rather than an image, which should be passed in using its {{w\|HTML entity}} representation (e.g. use <code>&#x1F642;</code> for 🙂</code>).
	~~:* <code><nowiki>{{~~alert~~}}</nowiki></code> is designed to use~~ an {{w\|emoji}} ~~as an icon instead of~~ an image~~. We recommend passing~~ in ~~the icon~~ using its {{w\|HTML entity}} representation (e.g. use <code>&#x1F642;</code> for 🙂</code>).		* <code>label</code>: A custom label, if provided.
	* <code>label</code>: A custom label ~~to be used~~, if ~~desired~~. ~~This is not used by~~ <code><nowiki>{{note}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{tip}}</nowiki></code>, or <code><nowiki>{{warning}}</nowiki></code> ~~as their labels are the same as the template names~~.
			Templates that use this metatemplate (namely <code><nowiki>{{note}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{tip}}</nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki>{{warning}}</nowiki></code>) should have pre-assigned values for <code>type</code>, <code>icon</code>, and <code>label</code>, leaving only <code>text</code> available to be modified.
