Description

This template is a parent template that helps build Notice Templates. It is not intended to be used on its own, but rather to be used to help build other derivative templates.

{{notice
|text=This is a notice.
}}

|text=This is the regular text.
}}
×

Adjust Width
By default, the width of the notice will be 65% the width of the page or container where it is used. You can adjust this value by passing width= and defining the width as either a percentage (e.g., 80%) or a pixel width (e.g., 300px).

}}

{{notice
|text=A left/right aligned notice.
|align=LEFT/RIGHT
}}

Adjust Color
By default, the notice will have a light gray background with a gray border. You can adjust its background color by passing color= with a color value in one of three forms:
1. A Named HTML Color (e.g., red)
2. A hex color code (e.g., #ff0000 )
3. An RGB/RGBA value (e.g., rgb(255, 0, 0))

Note: By adding a color value, the border is removed.
You Type You Get 
{{notice
|text=A light green notice.
|color=#bdcca1
}}
×
A light green notice.
Add a Border
It is preferred to have notices display without a border, however you can add a border by passing border=. Your input should follow the standard HTML border format of SIZE PATTERN COLOR, e.g., 1px solid blue.

Note: You can find further details on HTML borders here.
You Type You Get 
{{notice
|text=A notice with a blue border.
|border=1px solid blue
}}
×

Prevent Dismissal
By default, notices have an "x" in the top right corner that, if clicked, will make the notice disappear.* You can pass dismiss=no to hide the "x", preventing the option to hide the notice. To unhide any notices you may have previously dismissed, select "Reset Notices" from the Tools menu.

*Only users who are logged in have the ability to dismiss notices. Anonymous users (i.e., not logged in) cannot dismiss notices, regardless if dismiss=no is passed.
You Type You Get 
{{notice
|text=This notice is not dismissible.
|dismiss=no
}}
This notice is not dismissible.
Clear Other Elements
On very rare occasions, a notice may overlap with other elements present on the page. You can prevent this by passing clear=yes. This method should be used only as a last resort as passing it may give unexpected or undesired results.
You Type You Get

{{quote}}{{notice
|text=This notice is not using "clear=yes".
}}

A thing someone said. ”
