Template:Message box

Usage

This template is similar to {{Commons category}} but shows 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 categories, and allows changing width or floating the box to the left.

Usage: {{Commons category multi | topic1 | topic2 | align=left | width=20em}}
Usage: {{Commons category multi | topic1 | topic2 | topic3}}
Usage: {{Commons category multi | topic1 | topic2 | topic3 | topic4}}
Usage: {{Commons category multi | topic1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t5 | t6}}

The template will state "Wikimedia Commons has media related to (category):..." and then display the first 2 topic names in bold/italics as "topic1 or topic2" (as links). The optional topics 3 or 4 would be on the next line ("or topic3 or topic4"). Optional topics 5 and 6 would be on a third line.

|align=left shifts the box to the left margin.

Note that the topic names should exist as category names in Wikimedia Commons (edited using a Wikimedia login name).

Location

  1. REDIRECT Template:Xmark

Do not place this template in a section all by itself.

  1. REDIRECT Template:Xmark

Do not place this template in a section containing columns.

In articles, this template should be placed in the External links section, if one exists, or at the top of the last section on the page, if no external links section exists. However, uf using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different sister template.
