To je {{ombox}} abo (jendźelsce other pages message box) meta-předłoha.
It is used to build message box templates for pages of the types: User, Wikipedia, MediaWiki, Template, Help, Portal and any new future namespaces. That is, page types not covered by {{ambox}}, {{tmbox}}, {{imbox}} or {{cmbox}}. Thus it should not be used for boxes for articles, talk pages, image pages or category pages.
This template works almost exactly like {{ambox}} and uses the same parameters.

Wužiće
Simple usage example:
{{ombox | text = Někajki tekst.}}
Dataja:Imbox notice.png | Njekajki tekst. |
Complex example:
{{ombox | type = style | image = [[Image:Emblem-question-yellow.svg|40px]] | style = width: 400px; | textstyle = color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; | text = The message body text. }}
Dataja:Emblem-question-yellow.svg | The message body text. |
Other pages message box types
The following examples use different type parameters but use no image parameters thus they use the default images for each type.
Dataja:Imbox speedy deletion.png | type=speedy – Speedy deletion templates. |
Dataja:Imbox deletion.png | type=delete – Deletion templates. |
Dataja:Imbox content.png | type=content – Major warnings and problems, such as {{high-use}}. |
Dataja:Imbox style.png | type=style – Minor warnings and problems. {{intricate}} should perhaps use this type. |
Dataja:Imbox notice.png | type=notice – Notices and messages of any kind, both permanent and temporary. Such as {{guideline}} and {{how-to}}. |
Dataja:Imbox move.png | type=move – Merge, split, rename and transwiki messages and proposals. |
Dataja:Imbox protection.png | type=protection – Protection templates such as {{pp-protected}} when shown on "other pages". |
Examples
Some examples using the "notice" style:
Dataja:Blue check.svg | This page documents an English Wikipedia guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should follow, though it should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. When in doubt, discuss on the talk page. | Předłoha:Shortcut |
Dataja:Nutshell.png | This page in a nutshell: This template is used to build message boxes for all pages that are not articles, talk pages, image pages or category pages. |
Parameters
List of all parameters:
{{ombox | type = speedy / delete / content / style / notice / move / protection | image = none / [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]] | imageright = [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]] | style = CSS value | textstyle = CSS value | text = The message body text. }}
type
- If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type notice. That means it gets a gray border.
image
- No parameter = If no image parameter is given the template uses a default image. Which default image it uses depends on the type parameter.
- An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:
image = [[Image:Crystal package settings.png|40px]]
- none = Means that no image is used.
imageright
- No parameter = If no imageright parameter is given then no image is shown on the right side.
- An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:
imageright = [[Image:Nuvola apps bookcase.png|40px]]
- Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.
style
- An optional CSS value used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks
" "
. For example:style = margin-bottom: 0.5em;
textstyle
- An optional CSS value used by the text cell. For example:
textstyle = text-align: center;
text
- The message body text.
Technical details
If you need to use special characters in the text parameter then you need to escape them like this:
{{ombox | text = <div> Equal sign = and a start and end brace { } work fine as they are. But here is a pipe {{!}} and two end braces <nowiki>}}</nowiki>. And now a pipe and end braces <nowiki>|}}</nowiki>. </div> }}

Equal sign = and a start and end brace { } work fine as they are. But here is a pipe | and two end braces }}. And now a pipe and end braces |}}. |
This template uses the ombox CSS classes in MediaWiki:Common.css for most of its looks, thus it is fully skinnable.
Internally this meta-template uses HTML markup instead of wiki markup for the table code. That is the usual way we make meta-templates since wiki markup has several drawbacks. For instance it makes it harder to use parser functions and special characters in parameters.
The default images for this meta-template are in png format instead of svg format. The main reason is that some older web browsers have trouble with the transparent background that MediaWiki renders for svg images. The png images here have hand optimised transparent background colour so they look good in all browsers. Note that svg icons only look somewhat bad in the old browsers, thus such hand optimisation is only worth the trouble for very widely used icons.
For more technical details see the talk page. Since this template works almost exactly like {{imbox}}, {{ambox}} and {{cmbox}} their talk pages and related pages might also contain more details.

There are several meta-templates in the mbox family:
- {{ambox}} – For article message boxes.
- {{tmbox}} – For talk page message boxes.
- {{imbox}} – For image page message boxes.
- {{cmbox}} – For category message boxes.
- {{ombox}} – For other pages message boxes.
- {{mbox}} – Has namespace detection, for message boxes that are used on several types of pages and thus need to change style depending on what page they are used on.
