 | This template is used in system messages, and on approximately 1,220,000 pages, or roughly 2% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, 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.

This is the {{Ombox}} ([O]ther pages [m]essage [box]) metatemplate.
It is used to build message box templates for pages of the types User, Draft, Wikipedia, MediaWiki, Template, Help, Portal and any new future namespaces; i.e. for page types not covered by {{Ambox}}, {{Tmbox}}, {{Imbox}} or {{Cmbox}}. Thus, it should not be used for boxes for articles, talk pages, image pages or category pages.
This template works almost exactly like {{Ambox}} and uses the same parameters.
