+'''Metabox''' is a versatile message box that can be used anywhere, whether it be cleanup tags in articles, warning messages, notices, and more. While it can be used directly in articles, Metabox is intended to be used as a "meta message box" template, used as a foundation to create other message box templates.

==Description==
'''Metabox''' is so-named because it is intended to be the foundation of all "message box" templates on K6ka's Wiki. The goal of this template is to create a "versatile" message box that can be used anywhere, whether it be cleanup tags in articles, warning messages, notices, and more.

==Parameters==
The template has the following parameters:

<code>text</code> - This is the main text inside of the template. It is a ''mandatory'' parameter.

<code>text-color</code> - This is for the color of the text inside the template. If it is left empty, the text will default to white text. You can either type in an [https://web.archive.org/web/20160101113750/https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp HTML color name], or type in an HTML color code (without the #)

<code>title</code> - This parameter adds a line of bolded text at the top of the template.

<code>title-color</code> - This changes the color of the title. The parameter <code>title</code> must be defined for this parameter to do anything. If it is left empty, the title will default to white text. You can either type in an [https://web.archive.org/web/20160101113750/https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp HTML color name], or type in an HTML color code (without the #)

<code>bordercolor</code> - The color of the border surrounding the template. If it is left empty, the border will default to a white color. You can either type in an [https://web.archive.org/web/20160101113750/https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp HTML color name], or type in an HTML color code (without the #)

<code>backgroundcolor</code> - The color of the background of the template. If left empty, it will default to a transparent background (usually matches the wiki background color). You can either type in an [https://web.archive.org/web/20160101113750/https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp HTML color name], or type in an HTML color code (without the #)

<code>width</code> - The width of the entire template, measured in percentage. Type in a number (without the % sign). If left blank, it will default to 65%.

<code>size</code> - Only one recognized argument - "small". If defined, the template will display as a smaller, left-aligned box instead of the default center-aligned position.

<code>image</code> - Add the image name into this parameter to display the image. For example, <code>Example.jpg</code>. Do not include the <code><nowiki>[[File:</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>]]</nowiki></code> (the "File:" prefix and the square brackets); otherwise you will break the image.

<code>imagewidth</code> - Changes the width of the column where the image resides in. Leave blank for the default value. The parameter <code>image</code> must be defined in order for this parameter to work.

<code>imagesize</code> - Changes the size of the image in the template, measured in pixels. The parameter <code>image</code> must be defined in order for this parameter to work.

<code>imagelink</code> - If defined, the image will link to the name of the page you put into this parameter (e.g. adding <code>Foo</code> to this parameter will create a link to [[Foo]]). The parameter <code>image</code> must be defined in order for this parameter to work.
