Default light box.
Dark box floated right.
Purpose
This template creates a standard box, into which content or other templates can be placed. It currently supports two types: light and dark. Light boxes are usually utilized by other templates to set aside supplemental information, while dark boxes usually contain metadata for which an {{Ambox}} may not be appropriate.
Known Implementors
This list may not be kept up-to-date. For a more accurate list, see [[Box Templates]].
Usage
Basic usage: {{Box| dark? | align | contents }}
- dark? — Boxes are light by default. For a dark box, use the argument "dark". (Optional. Default: light)
- align — "left", "right", or "center". Left and right float the box so other content wraps around it. (Optional.)
- contents — Everything that goes inside the box. (Optional.)
For contents that would be inconvenient to pass as an argument to a template due to high use of equal signs or pipe characters, such as tables, the contents can instead be included immediately after this template declaration and followed by {{Box/Bottom}}. e.g.:
{{Box|right}} {| class="wikitable" | table |} {{Box/Bottom}}
