General deletion boxes
While this section is going show general deletion templates, the principles can be applied to any other namespace
neural type
of box. Note, namespace
is not specified, so the template will take on the style of its name space, meaning it will look like an Xmbox, but they will change their styles when the deletion template is transcluded to a page.
{{Mbox/wikitext | type = speedy | image = [[File:Ambox warning pn.png|50px]] | text = '''This page is a candidate for ''speedy'' deletion.''' | info = ''Remember to check [[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|what links here]] and [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=history}} the page history] before deletion.'' | doc = yes | cat = Candidates for speedy deletion }}
{{Mbox/wikitext | type = delete | image = [[File:Ambox warning pn.png|50px]] | text = '''This page is a candidate for deletion.''' | info = ''Remember to check [[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|what links here]] and [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=history}} the page history] before deletion.'' | doc = yes | cat = Candidates for deletion }}
Small boxes
These are small boxen that can be used to include unobtrusive messages to pages. Their borders are all narrow so text can flow around these boxen with little affect on the text. If you do not want text beside the box, you should use the <div style="clear:both"></div>
directly after the box.
