Module talk:Message box

Mbox does not show a box around the message.

Pretty much what the title states. I configured Mbox exactly as the documentation states. Still I can see any box around the message 129.10.44.36 (talk) 05:05, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Fix for plainlinks parameter

Some templates call mbox with plainlinks=no but it doesn't do anything. I fixed that in the sandbox, please apply it. Tgr (talk) 04:31, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Use SVGs

{{Edit protected }}

In Module:Message box, please replace Imbox notice.png with Information icon4.svg. In Module:Message box/configuration, please replace 'Imbox license.png' -- @todo We need an SVG version of this with 'Imbox-license.svg'. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 03:33, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Update icons

Update icons to use the new Codex icons, I've colored them manually in Category:Wikimedia Codex icons with color, using the colors we used with near identical OOUI icons.

• 
  ambox.speedy
• 
  ambox.delete
• 
  ambox.warning ambox.content
• 
  ambox.notice
• 
  or this for ambox.notice
• 
  ambox.style Not Codex, but OOUI for style icon...

etc. In some cases cmbox will use different icon to ambox for example cmbox.caution uses cmbox-style but not the same icon as cmbox.style. Waddie96 (talk) 12:04, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Better dark mode support in Module:Message box/fmbox.css

{{Edit protected }}

Consider this replacement to make the warning type use a variable background. Changes start at line 26 as marked.
