Usage
Create one-off notices, or use to create a notice template for a specific purpose.
E.g.
{{notice |width=80% |background-color=Wheat |border-color=SaddleBrown |headline=Blah blah |content=Yabba dabba doo}}
creates:
Blah blah |
---|
Yabba dabba doo |
Choosing colors
Choose your colors from a "palette" such as the table at Wikipedia:Web colors#X11 color names.
Note that you can use hex codes for colors such as #F3F2E0, as in this example:
{{notice |width=80% |background-color=#F3F2E0 |border-color=#B5B380 |headline=Blah blah |content=Yabba dabba doo}}
Suggested color guidelines
An initial attempt at creating some consistency - open to change...
- Warnings, notices, problems with an article
- Red border, yellow (e.g. LightYellow) background. (e.g. {{globalize}}). Pink background for more serious notices (e.g. {{category redirect}}
- Tags inviting participation
- Probably use a nicer template than this one, perhaps with an image, or at least use nice colors :-).
- Class attribution notices
- Undecided so far - possibly picking a set or range of colors for a particular institution (An alternative might be to have particular colors for particular subjects, e.g. Engineering or Architecture, but as the articles will be categorized, that seems unnecessary.)
- Maintenance templates
- Light shades of grey (grey is the color of overalls... makes sense for maintenance? Or change to a more inviting color?)
