Template:Cdx-message
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
 | This template is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
Displays a smaller and more compact notice as compared to the {{mbox}} series. Good for tips or notes in documentation and help pages. Not for article namespace. It looks similar to the Codex cdxMessage component, as it was originally styled to resemble it before that component became available in MediaWiki. Imported from mw:Template:Note.

- To-do
- Could we change icon color with CSS filter function? Or should I reimplement entire thing following div and span tags used by new cdxMessage. And then copy their CSS for ease of use actually.
