There is a standard and consistent design for '''article message boxes''' — templates which are inserted into articles/sections, and identify problems or issues with the article. The design was standardized and implemented in September 2007. | |||

== Scope == | |||
A standard and consistent design for '''article message boxes''' has been selected. That is, ''message boxes'' or ''article templates'' that go on the top of articles and article sections. | |||
The scope of this effort is the design of '''article message boxes''' ("amboxes"). Article message boxes are template messages, in a rectangular frame (box), which are placed in articles, and are also ''about'' articles. They identify issues or important information about the article, but are not part of the article content itself. | |||
The following are presently ''outside'' the scope of this effort: | |||
== Scope == | |||
* The ''wording'' (text) inside article message boxes (present focus is on appearance/formatting) | |||
The scope of this page and standardisation effort is the design of '''article message boxes'''. That is, message boxes that go on the top of articles and article sections. Other kinds of ''article templates'' such as ] and ] are not included. | |||
* Other kinds of ''article templates'', such as ] and ] | |||
* ''Talk page templates'', which were standardised in 2005 by ] | |||
* ''Project namespace templates'', used in the ] | |||
=== Terminology === | |||
''Talk page templates'' were already standardised last year, see ]. | |||
* '''Template''': A page which is ] into other pages, typically to re-use the same content in multiple pages. See ]. | |||
''Project namespace templates'' such as the box on the top of this page ''are not within the scope'' of this standardisation effort. | |||
* '''Message box''': Any template that looks like a box and contains a specific message about a specific issue with a page, section, or other thing on Misplaced Pages. | |||
** This is in contrast to templates which are used for info boxes, to automate processes, or any of the other myriad things templates are used for. | |||
* '''Article message box''': Message boxes about articles | |||
** Info boxes, nav boxes, and such are ''part'' of an article, not ''about'' the article | |||
* '''ambox''': Short for "article message box" | |||

The ambox tags that we use to notify people of problems within an article are on thousands of our pages. Our readers see them and judgements are made not only about the article at hand, but about the project itself. In the past, we had a myriad of templates that often shared some level of consistency, but still looked very mismatched. | |||
The CSS code and meta template are finished and we have now (September 2007) started to convert the old ] to the new design. The design of these article message boxes is controlled by the <code>.ambox</code> CSS classes in ]. | |||
This effort aims to address these issues. Design principles include: | |||
The meta template {{tl|ambox}} makes it easy to create article message boxes in the new design. It has usage documentation and examples. Note that {{tl|ambox}} is just a thin wrapper for the CSS classes. The classes can just as well be used directly in a ], especially when special functionality is needed. | |||
* Colour-coding is good, but avoid excess | |||
== Browser cache == | |||
** Coloured/shaded backgrounds can make text hard to read for some people, especially those with ] | |||
* Consistent widths make multiple adjacent amboxes easier to read | |||
* This is a deliberate design effort, while the old templates evolved organically over time | |||
* Easily implemented | |||
* The use of CSS allows appearance customization/override on a per-user or per-skin basis | |||
=== Categories and colours === | |||
If these two boxes don't look alike, you need to ]: | |||
Amboxes are divided into various categories. Each category has a corresponding colour code. The colour-coding helps to inform of the severity of the issues at a glance. | |||

The choice of colour is partly inspired by the ] standard safety "Signal Words" and their corresponding colors: Danger (Red), Warning (Orange), Caution (Yellow), and Notice (Blue). | |||
This is a temporary caching problem that should be gone in some days. | |||
Most amboxes have a background colour of #fbfbfb (slightly off white), which is intended to contrast slightly with the full white (#ffffff) used for articles, while still being easy to read. The exception is the Speedy category, which uses a pink background (#fee) to highlight the immediate nature of the problem. | |||
== Reasoning == | |||
== Implementation == | |||
The tags that we use to notify people of problems within an article are on thousands of our pages. Our readers see them and judgements are made not only about the article at hand but about the project itself. Currently we have a myriad of templates that often share some level of consistency but still look very mismatched. | |||
Most ] use this design. | |||
The proposal below aims to address these issues. The thinking behind the design is: | |||
* It is colour-coded but without using an overpowering amount | |||
* Standard widths | |||
* Generally a better design than we have now | |||
* It is easily implemented | |||
The design of these article message boxes is controlled by the ], which are styled by ]. | |||
== Colour code == | |||
The meta template {{tl|ambox}} makes it easy to create article message boxes in the new design. It has usage documentation and examples. Note that {{tnull|ambox}} is just a thin wrapper for the classes. | |||
Colour coding article message box templates will help to inform of the severity of the issues at a glance. Having a small amount of colour is best, as too much can be overwhelming. | |||
The classes can also be used directly within a ] or ], especially when special functionality is needed. ] describes how. | |||

There is a standard and consistent design for article message boxes — templates which are inserted into articles/sections, and identify problems or issues with the article. The design was standardized and implemented in September 2007.
Scope
The scope of this effort is the design of article message boxes ("amboxes"). Article message boxes are template messages, in a rectangular frame (box), which are placed in articles, and are also about articles. They identify issues or important information about the article, but are not part of the article content itself.
The following are presently outside the scope of this effort:
- The wording (text) inside article message boxes (present focus is on appearance/formatting)
- Other kinds of article templates, such as navigation boxes and infoboxes
- Talk page templates, which were standardised in 2005 by Misplaced Pages:Talk page templates
- Project namespace templates, used in the Misplaced Pages: namespace
Terminology
- Template: A page which is transcluded into other pages, typically to re-use the same content in multiple pages. See Help:Template.
- Message box: Any template that looks like a box and contains a specific message about a specific issue with a page, section, or other thing on Misplaced Pages.
- This is in contrast to templates which are used for info boxes, to automate processes, or any of the other myriad things templates are used for.
- Article message box: Message boxes about articles
- Info boxes, nav boxes, and such are part of an article, not about the article
- ambox: Short for "article message box"
Design
The ambox tags that we use to notify people of problems within an article are on thousands of our pages. Our readers see them and judgements are made not only about the article at hand, but about the project itself. In the past, we had a myriad of templates that often shared some level of consistency, but still looked very mismatched.
This effort aims to address these issues. Design principles include:
- Colour-coding is good, but avoid excess
- Coloured/shaded backgrounds can make text hard to read for some people, especially those with color-vision deficiencies
- Consistent widths make multiple adjacent amboxes easier to read
- This is a deliberate design effort, while the old templates evolved organically over time
- Easily implemented
- The use of CSS allows appearance customization/override on a per-user or per-skin basis
Categories and colours
Amboxes are divided into various categories. Each category has a corresponding colour code. The colour-coding helps to inform of the severity of the issues at a glance.
Code | Name | Description | Example Templates | |
---|---|---|---|---|
#b22222 | Speedy | Immediate deletion | {{db-meta}} | |
#b22222 | Deletion | Full-discussion deletion; proposed deletion | {{afd}}, {{prod}} | |
#f28500 | Content | Problems with the content of an article, i.e., what the article actually says | {{POV}}, {{globalize}} | |
#f4c430 | Style | Problems not with the content, but how it is formatted/presented | {{cleanup}}, {{underlinked}} | |
#1e90ff | Notice | Information readers/editors should be aware of | {{current}}, {{recent death}} | |
#9932cc | Move | Merge, split and transwiki proposals | {{split}}, {{copy to commons}} | |
#bba | Protection | Page is locked against edits | {{pp-protected}} |
The choice of colour is partly inspired by the ANSI standard safety "Signal Words" and their corresponding colors: Danger (Red), Warning (Orange), Caution (Yellow), and Notice (Blue).
Most amboxes have a background colour of #fbfbfb (slightly off white), which is intended to contrast slightly with the full white (#ffffff) used for articles, while still being easy to read. The exception is the Speedy category, which uses a pink background (#fee) to highlight the immediate nature of the problem.
Implementation
Most article message boxes use this design.
The design of these article message boxes is controlled by the Ambox classes, which are styled by MediaWiki:Common.css.
The meta template {{ambox}} makes it easy to create article message boxes in the new design. It has usage documentation and examples. Note that {{ambox}}
is just a thin wrapper for the classes.
The classes can also be used directly within a wikitable or HTML table, especially when special functionality is needed. Misplaced Pages:Ambox CSS classes describes how.
Alternate skins
It is possible to customize the appearance of ambox templates on a per-user basis. To do this, you need a named account. Then add to or alter the code in your common.css page (or vector.css, monobook.css, etc. as appropriate). There are several pre-made "skins" available for this at Misplaced Pages:Ambox CSS classes/Skins.
Examples
Please note:
- The wording (text) of these message boxes is outside the scope of this effort. The wording in the examples below is for illustration purposes only.
- The following box has a white background to mimic article pages.
Speedy deletion
This project page may meet Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion as an article that contains no content whatsoever, or consists only of external links, categories, a "see also" section, a rephrasing of the title, chat-like comments, template tags, and/or images. Disambiguation pages and redirects are not eligible for this criterion. A very short article may still be a valid stub if there is sufficient context to identify the subject. See CSD A3.%5B%5BWP%3ACSD%23A3%7CA3%5D%5D%3A+Article+has+no+meaningful%2C+substantive+contentA3
If this project page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with the given reason for deletion, you can click the button below and leave a message explaining why you believe it should not be deleted. You can also visit the talk page to check if you have received a response to your message. Note that this project page may be deleted at any time if it unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if an explanation posted to the talk page is found to be insufficient.
Note to administrators: this page has content on its talk page which should be checked before deletion. Administrators: check links, talk, history (last), and logs before deletion. Consider checking Google.This page was last edited by HeyElliott (contribs | logs) at 22:20, 21 December 2023 (UTC) (12 months ago) |
