Template talk:Message box

Ugh
I really dislike what has been done to this template. Also, it is used on so many page, changes should be discussed and decided before they are made so that they don't have to be undone when they aren't what is wanted. -- Wynthyst  talk  06:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Float:right please
Can this template be set to "float:right;" please? So much wasted horizontal space in the articles... UsedOnlyTwice 08:06, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * No. – ultradude25 ( T at 09:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

class="msgbox"
Can this template get custom "class"? I wan't to modify some CSS with vector.css for it. – xPaw 20:20, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see why not. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:06, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! – xPaw 09:41, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Change to the “Discuss” link
I propose allowing to set a specific talk page instead of the default one (that is, the associated talk page of the page where the template is used). This can be done by changing the {{#if: {{{discuss|}}} | {{sup|}}} | &#35;{{{discussAnchor}}} }}|Discuss}} part to {{#if: {{{discuss|}}} | {{sup|}}} | {{{discussPage}}} | {{TALKPAGENAME}} }}{{#if:{{{discussAnchor|}}} | &#35;{{{discussAnchor}}} }}|Discuss}} This would be useful if the discussion is located elsewhere, since you won’t have to create a redirect topic like this. By the way, this feature is [{{fullurl:ru:Шаблон:Msgbox|action=edit}} already implemented] in the Russian wiki’s Msgbox. — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 14:04, 9 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Am I just being ignored? Majr? — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 15:01, 10 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Finally. Thanks, Majr, but make sure to reply in the next time. — NickTheRed37 (issues’ wall) 15:43, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Remove or change automatic categorization
In the Minecraft Wiki, all templates using Template:Message box are categorized into Category:Notice templates. However, on Wikipedia, the category of a similar name is only for talk page templates. Can somebody remove or change the automatic categorization after I manually categorize al templates in the category?Fadyblok240 (talk) 18:36, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Update template
There hasn't been any significant changes made to the template since it was first created. Since then, there has been lots of issues regarding the clutter of message boxes and discussions to replace the template. Therefore, I propose to redesign the current template with what I have made here. Any feedback for improvement is welcomed. – ItsPlantseed ⟨₰|₢⟩ 18:16, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have more suggested changes. One feature I would like to be implemented is the ability to float the box to the right. Also, the default msgbox should float to the center to more easily distinguish it from the mini/small version, but the text should always be left-aligned. Also, since a few /doc pages are incorrectly categorized into Category:Notice templates, I would suggest removing the automatic categorization of msgbox-based templates, but they have to be manually categorized first.

 * Added float and removed category. I'll leave it to you for the manual categorization. – ItsPlantseed ⟨₰|₢⟩ 08:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
