[edit] Change the image and put on {{Pp-template}}

{{Editprotected}}

I am requesting that this template's image is replaced with Image:Stop hand nuvola.svg. Also I think that {{Pp-template}} should be on the page (wrapped in noinclude tags of course). Funpika 19:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 19:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categorize

{{Editprotected}} Needs [[Category:Talk header templates]]. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 21:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 01:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] /doc

{{editprotected}}
Please replace the bit between noinclude tags with {{/doc}} (but leave the {{pp-template}} tag). Melsaran (talk) 17:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 18:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you could use {{Documentation, template}} (like {{caution}} and {{notice}}), and put the {{pp-template}} at the top of the page for clarity? Nothing too pressing but would be nice... -- StevenDH (talk) 22:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Y Done and done. Yes, much nicer. --David Göthberg (talk) 18:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Add interwiki links

{{Editprotected}}

Please add interwiki links: xh:Template:Isilumkiso, and zu:Template:Isixwayiso. --Blake3522 03:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Please add interwiki links: ja:Template:警告 --203.165.100.98 (talk) 09:15, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Y Done - All three added to the /doc page. --David Göthberg (talk) 01:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article message box style and substitution

This message box is sometimes used on article pages. So I tried to convert it like I did with {{notice}} and {{caution}} so it renders in the standardised article message boxes style when on article pages. However then it didn't work well to substitute the template when used as a warning on user talk pages. Well, it looks okay when on the user talk pages, but it pastes complex code there which might confuse those users. See the substitution example (last example) in the sandbox for this template, this revision.

So how should we go about this? It seems these are some of our options:

  1. Keep the old code and state in its docs that this template should not be used in articles. (Since it breaks the article message box standard and thus does not stack well with other boxes etc.) Instead we can recommend an alternative template, or simply show how to use {{ambox}} directly in that case.
  2. Use the new code that automatically shows the ambox style on articles, and accept that when we substitute the template onto talk pages it causes complex code.

So, what do you people think?
