Template:Box
This template is used on over 2500 pages. Take extra care when making changes, testing them in a sandbox first. If changes to this template require changes to pages that use it, you are responsible for making those changes. |
Purpose
This template creates a standard box, into which content or other templates can be placed. It currently supports two types: light and dark. Light boxes are usually utilized by other templates to set aside supplemental information, while dark boxes usually contain metadata for which an {{Ambox}} may not be appropriate.

Usage
{{Box| dark? | align | width= | title= | contents }}
- dark? — Boxes are light by default. For a dark box, use the argument "dark". (Optional. Default: light)
- align — "left", "right", or "center". Left and right float the box so other content wraps around it. (Optional.)
- width — Width of the box, including units (such as "px", "em", "%"). (Optional.)
- title — Title to be placed on the top of the box. (Optional.)
- contents — Everything that goes inside the box. (Optional.)
There are also class and style parameters.
For contents that would be inconvenient to pass as an argument to a template due to high use of equal signs or pipe characters, such as tables, the contents can instead be included immediately after this template declaration and followed by {{Box/Bottom}}. e.g.:
{{Box|right}} {| class="wikitable" | table |} {{Box/Bottom}}
