This is the {{Ambox}} or Article message box meta-template.
MobileFrontend will treat this template as a "page issue". If you don't want that to occur, you may use a different message box template.
Parameters
type
The type parameter defines the colour of the left bar, and the image that is used by default. The type is chosen not on aesthetics but is based on the type of issue that the template describes. The seven available types and their default images are shown below.
 | type=speedy — Speedy deletion issues, such as {{Speedy}}. |
 | type=delete — Deletion issues, such as {{Delete}}. |
 |
 | type=style — Style issues, such as {{Cleanup}} and {{Documentation needed}}. |
 | type=notice — Notices, such as {{Extension exception}} and {{Translating}}. |
 | type=move — Merge, split and transwiki proposals, such as {{Merge}} and {{Move to Commons}}. |
 | type=protection — Protection notices, such as {{Pp-cascading}} and {{Protectedinterface}}. |
If no type parameter is given the template defaults to |type=notice.
