This is a meta-module that implements the message box templates {{separated entries|{{tlx|mbox}}|{{tlx|ambox}}|{{tlx|cmbox}}|{{tlx|fmbox}}|{{tlx|imbox}}|{{tlx|ombox}}|{{tlx|tmbox}}|separator= {{int|lang=en|comma-separator}} |conjunction= {{int|lang=en|and}}{{int|lang=en|word-separator}} }}. It is intended to be used from Lua modules, and should not be used directly from wiki pages. If you want to use this module's functionality from a wiki page, please use the individual message box templates instead.

Usage
To use this module from another Lua module, first you need to load it.

To create a message box, use the  function. It takes two parameters:

There are seven available box types:

See the template page of each box type for the available parameters.

Usage from
As well as the  function, this module has separate functions for each box type. They are accessed using the code, , etc. These will work when called from other modules, but they access code used to process arguments passed from , and so calling them will be less efficient than calling.

Technical details
The module uses the same basic code for each of the templates listed above; the differences between each of them are configured using the data at Module:Message box/configuration.
