Message Box Templates

These are the templates for the message boxes used at the top of articles to draw attention, notably at the top of stub pages or in tutorials to draw attention to warnings.

Article Message Box - This is the master message box template page with full instructions. All other message box templates are derived at least in part from this template.
Cleanup Message Box - These message boxes are used on articles that need cleanup. The basic code for use is {{Cleanup|reason=the article is full of bad spelling.|date=July 2018}}
Images Needed Template - This template is used for articles that need more or better images and can be inserted in a page by using {{images}} first thing on the page.
Stub Template - This template is used for stub pages that require expansion and can be inserted into a page by using {{stub}} first thing on the page.
