Template:StdBox/doc
This template creates a "standard box", which contains standard messages related to the main text, and which appears in the flow of the text but in its own division.
This template is derived from, and uses, the specific box templates. The exact one used depends upon the type argument. See, eg, Template:AlertBox for details.
What it does
This template creates a "standard box" containing important article-related messages. It chooses a specific box type (eg AlertBox, InfoBox etc), and selects an icon and "heading" based upon the type argument (though you can override the heading). All you have to supply is the text message content; this would normally state the reason for applying the tag.
Usage
{{StdBox
|type=<box type>
|heading=<heading>
|message=<message>}}
Only the message argument is mandatory.
type

- speedy - page marked for speedy deletion

- good - page marked as "good article"
- featured - page marked as "featured article"
- trash - page marked as trash-related
- sme - page needs help from subject matter expert

heading
Specifies the box content heading. If this is missing, then a suitable default for the type of box will be chosen (except for type notice, when the heading will be omitted).
message
Specifies box content message, which may itself be plain text, wiki markup, HTML markup or other templates. This argument is mandatory.
Related templates
