It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
To view the template page itself, see Template:Ambox.
{{ambox}} is the base tempate used by several "alert message boxes" which can be placed at the top of an article. It generates a two column table with an optional "message icon". The message text must be provided by the calling template in the {{{text}}} parameter.
ambox should never be used directly, but only via "proxy templates" such as {{notice}}, {{inuse}}, {{underconstruction}}, or other Marker templates. Those templates provide default parameters to have a consistant look and feel for alert message boxes including a standard message text and appropriate category tags.

Optional:
- type (notice)
- controls the box color
- image (none)
