This is the template manual of style. This documents describes how to make a proper template consistent with the wiki.

Template images

It's recommended to use CP images whenever possible. In the case that you can't, an icon from or in the Tango style is OK.

Amboxes

Amboxes are boxes intended for articles. An ambox should usually be in the 'large' (default) style, but exceptions can be made. An ambox should have:

• An appropriate image
• Bold text indicating the purpose concisely as possible, in title case (e.g: "Candidate for Deletion", "Biased", "No Categories")
• On a new line, text elaborating what's with it.
• Ideally, amboxes should not convey information that can be expressed in an infobox.

Styles

Amboxes can come in a variety of colours and styles. These are the types available:

• Speedy deletion (speedy) - used for things like spam, vandal pages, etc.
• Deletion (delete) - used for non-urgent deletion
• Content (content) - used for issues with the content
• Stylistic (style) - used for issues with formatting and linking and other style problems
• Information (notice) - used to convey information about an article
• Movement (move) - used for relocation of pages and/or sections
• Protection (protection) used for matters involving protection
