Template:Unsorted list/message construction

Note: Let's soft-depreciate {{{reason}}}

Sub-template to deal with {{ambox|issue=}}, {{ambox|fix=}}, {{ambox|text=|smalltext=}}, {{ambox|info=}}

Subtype

The parameter |subtype= todo: do explain

• is case insensitive
• 3 levels: major, minor, mode
  General shapes are:
  • major-minor-mode
  • alt(major)-minor-mode
  • major-minor++fst(mode)
  • alt(major)-minor++fst(mode)
• defaults to generic
• invalid mode? I'm leaning towards defaulting to generic but do include an element of class error in it.

Note:Ought to eventually be substituted into doc, right?
