Template:Mbox
Details
This is the base template for message boxes, and it lets you create a custom message box. Message boxes let you have an image on the left and right (currently not affected by text direction), a "big" text that can catch your attention, and a small text description. It also lets you add some "below" text which is shown beneath the images and other text, which is often useful for providing more detailed explanations on why the message box was added.
Check out Category:Message box templates for some examples of message boxes in use on the wiki.
