Visual Examples[edit source]
To Do[edit source]
- Based on the existing dialog images [1], I should add a type for "restricted" for pages with restricted authoring and or "forbidden"

Making this template[edit source]
To generate the resized images from svg
32px
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
