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 |
