|---|---|
| template | context |
| {{Ambox}} | article |
| {{Cmbox}} | category |
| {{Imbox}} | image |
| {{Tmbox}} | talk |

This is the {{Dmbox}} ([D]isambiguation footer [m]essage [box]) metatemplate.
It is used to build disambiguation and set index article message boxes, such as {{Disambiguation}} and {{Ship index}}.
This template works similarly to {{Ambox}} and mostly uses the same parameters. The main differences are that this box uses the disambiguation style and only has two "type" settings.
Usage[ਸੋਧੋ]
Simple usage example:
{{dmbox | text = Some text.}}
Some text.
{{dmbox | type = setindex | text = Some text.}}
Some text.
Complex example:
{{dmbox
| type = setindex
| image = [[File:Schooner.svg|30px|link=|alt=]] [[File:DAB list gray.svg|30px|alt=Disambiguation icon]]
| text = The message body text.
}}
The message body text.
Some other parameter combinations:
No type and no image given (default)
type = setindex
imageright = [[File:Schooner.svg|33px|link=|alt=]]
imageright = [[File:Schooner.svg|33px|link=|alt=]]
This article includes a list of ships with the same or similar names. If an internal link for a specific ship referred you to this page, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended ship article, if one exists.
Parameters[ਸੋਧੋ]
List of all parameters:
{{dmbox
| type = disambig / setindex
| image = none / [[File:Some image.svg|40px|link=|alt=]]
| imageright = [[File:Some image.svg|40px|link=|alt=]]
| text = The message body text.
| nocat = {{{nocat|}}} / true
}}
|type=
- If no
|type=parameter is given the template defaults to typedisambig disambig
setindex
|nocat=
true|nocat=, so they too have the option to suppress categories. Thus, it is recommended that Dmbox templates always add something similar to this:nocat = {{{nocat|}}}
|image=
- [No parameter] = If no
|image=parameter is given, the template uses the default|disambig=or|setindex=image, depending on the|type=parameter. - An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 30px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (Keep the width small; images in this template do not automatically shrink on mobile devices.) For example:
image = [[File:Schooner.svg|30px|link=|alt=]]
none= Means that no image is used.
|imageright=
- No parameter = If no
|imageright=parameter is given then no image is shown on the right side. - An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 30px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (Keep the width small; images in this template do not automatically shrink on mobile devices.) For example:
imageright = [[File:Nuvola apps bookcase.png|40px|alt=Books icon]]
- Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.
|text=
- The message body text. This message box has italic text as default, thus no need to manually set that.
Technical details[ਸੋਧੋ]
If you need to use special characters in the text parameter then you need to escape them like this:
{{dmbox
| text = <div>
Equal sign = and a start and end brace { } work fine as they are.
But here is a pipe {{!}} and two end braces <nowiki>}}</nowiki>.
And now a pipe and end braces <nowiki>|}}</nowiki>.
</div>
}}
Equal sign = and a start and end brace { } work fine as they are. But here is a pipe | and two end braces }}. And now a pipe and end braces |}}.
For more technical details see the talk page. Since this template works almost exactly like {{ambox}}, {{tmbox}}, {{imbox}}, {{cmbox}} and {{ombox}} their talk pages and related pages might also contain more details.
