<noinclude>
== Usage ==
The template takes two named parameters. '''type''' is optional

<pre>
{{Messagebox
|type = success (or warning, failure, normal) can be left blank
|text = your message content
}}
</pre>

For a more complex (up to 80 parameters) template, see the Infobox template [[Template_talk:Infobox]]

== Making this template ==
The parser code (how to do switch statements) is based on the example of the Ambox template from Mediawiki

The following CSS is added to skins/freephile/freephile_template.css to make this template complete

The background images for the CSS are put into the images subfolder to make it easier to distinguish what is based on monobook, and what is extra
<source lang="css">
