This module is used in system messages.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the MediaWiki user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this module's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space.The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this module. Please discuss any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

A table containing data used by the type parameter of the message box. The table keys are the values that can be passed to the type parameter, and the table values are tables containing the class and the image used by that type.
default
The type to use if no value was passed to the type parameter, or if an invalid value was specified.
showInvalidTypeError
Whether to show an error if the value passed to the type parameter was invalid.
allowBlankParams
Usually blank values are stripped from parameters passed to the module. However, whitespace is preserved for the parameters included in the allowBlankParams table.
allowSmall
Whether a small version of the message box can be produced with |small=1.
smallParam
A custom value for the |small= parameter. For example, if set to <syntaxhighlight inline="1" id="" class="" style="" lang="lua">"left"</syntaxhighlight> you can produce a small message box using |small=left.
smallClass
The class to use for small message boxes.
substCheck
Whether to perform a subst check or not.
classes
An array of classes to use with the message box.
imageEmptyCell
Whether to use an empty <td>...</td> cell if there is no image set. This is used to preserve spacing for message boxes with a width of less than 100% of the screen.
imageEmptyCellStyle
Whether empty image cells should be styled.
imageCheckBlank
Whether |image=blank results in no image being displayed.
imageSmallSize
Usually, images used in small message boxes are set to 30x30px. This sets a custom size.
imageCellDiv
Whether to enclose the image in a <div> enforcing a maximum image size.
useCollapsibleTextFields
Whether to use text fields that can be collapsed, i.e. <syntaxhighlight inline="1" id="" class="" style="" lang="lua">"issue"</syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight inline="1" id="" class="" style="" lang="lua">"fix"</syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight inline="1" id="" class="" style="" lang="lua">"talk"</syntaxhighlight>, etc. Currently only used in {{ambox}}.
imageRightNone
Whether |imageright=none results in no image being displayed on the right-hand side of the message box.
sectionDefault
The default name for the |section= parameter. Depends on useCollapsibleTextFields.
allowMainspaceCategories
Allow categorisation in the main namespace.
templateCategory
The name of a category to be placed on the template page.
templateCategoryRequireName
Whether the |name= parameter is required to display the template category.
templateErrorCategory
The name of the error category to be used on the template page.
templateErrorParamsToCheck
An array of parameter names to check. If any are absent, the templateErrorCategory is applied to the template page.
