Templates work by copying off of one another, and inserting parameters as necessary. Please refer to Template Help for more information on this subject.
This wiki has a note template set up to use info, alert, warn, and error messages, as demonstrated below:
| Info note |
| Alert note |
| Warn note |
| Error note |
These four notes work by pulling the template Template:Note.base, and adding information of the left border color (labeled "color"), the background color (labeled "background"), and the picture file (labeled "file"). These four templates then use "{{{text}}}" to refer the text input they receive into the base template, allowing for proper rendering of the note.
| Replacing or removing "text={{{text}}}" from the template source code will result in the template not rendering text into the final product |
Parameters used in Note.base to create each sub-note.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tip text | text | Informative tip text. | Content | required |
| Border Color | color | Color of left border of info box | Unknown | optional |
| Image | file | Image file for Note box (use images from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images)
| Unknown | optional |
| Background Color | background | Color of background of Note Box | Unknown | optional |
