![]() | This template is used in system messages, and on approximately 17,000 pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This template is a wrapper template for editnotices, notices that appear above the text area on edit pages. Editnotices can be per-namespace or per-article.
To create a new editnotice, please follow the instructions at WP:Editnotice. See also standard editnotice templates at Category:Editnotice templates or for a user page, use the {{Editnotice userpage}}
template instead.
Syntax
{{editnotice | expiry = | id = | header = | headerstyle = | text = | textstyle = | image = | imagesize = | style = | class = }}
Note: All parameters are optional, except for text
.
Parameters
|expiry=expiry date
|id=optional HTML id
|header=header text
|headerstyle=CSS for header style
|text=body text
|textstyle=CSS for text style
|image=image
|imagesize=size of image, e.g., 35px
|imageright=image on righthand side
|class=CSS class name for the entire editnotice
|style=CSS values for the entire editnotice
- Use only the name of the image file, so instead of "[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg]]", use "Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg" following "image =".
If an editnotice targets a page that happens to be a redirect, the editnotice is categorized into the maintenance category Category:Editnotices whose targets are redirects. To suppress categorization, set |redirect=yes
explicitly. In almost all cases, this is not necessary.
Expiry date
The expiry parameter can be used to specify when an editnotice will cease to be visible on an article. This can be useful when an editnotice is created for reasons of a temporal nature. Any valid time format may be used, for example:
- January 2012
- 4 April 2009
- 11:09 5 April 2013
To specify that an editnotice never expire, you can simply not provide an expiry parameter, though this makes the edit notice display the {{Editnotice/notice}} template in order to remind editors of any unintentional usage. To suppress this message while still setting the edit notice to never expire, |expiry=indefinite
may be used.

Instruction editnotices
For editnotices that provide instruction on how to edit a page, the {{Instruction editnotice}} wrapper template may be used. It takes the same parameters as this template, but with the header, image, style, and expiration preset by default to encourage consistent formatting. It generates editnotices such as this:

User editnotices
User and user talk editnotices are implemented by creating a subpage named "/Editnotice" of the user or user talk page respectively. This allows non-admin users to edit their own notices. Like all editnotices, these are displayed by {{Editnotice_load/content}}.
