Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
This template is a metatemplate. It is used to build other templates and should not be used standalone, except for testing or simple usage.
Template:Alert is ready for use. This message indicates that a template is ready for use, or has recently been repaired. This message may be removed once this template has been used on several pages or once it is verified to work as intended.

The Alert template is a metatemplate which is used to create alerts, also known as callouts or admonitions, to call attention to critical information. It is intended to be used in other templates for messages which are expected to be used on multiple pages.

Usage

The template accepts the following parameters:

  • type: Defines the color of the left border; the type should be chosen according to context, not for aesthetic reasons. Types are described in the next section.
  • text: Message to be displayed in the box.
  • icon: Icon to be displayed in the box, if provided. Icons appear on the left side of the message box. Unlike mbox, alert uses an emoji rather than an image, which should be passed in using its HTML entity representation (e.g. use &#x1F642; for 🙂).
  • label: A custom label, if provided.

Templates that use this metatemplate (namely {{note}}, {{tip}}, and {{warning}}) should have pre-assigned values for type, icon, and label, leaving only text available to be modified.

Types and examples

Alert of note type, used by Template: Note.
Alert of tip type, used by Template: Tip.
Alert of warning type, used by Template: Warning.
