Categories and colors
Article message boxes are divided into various categories. Each category has a corresponding color code. The color-coding helps to inform of the nature of the issues at a glance.
| Code | Name | Description | Example Templates |
|---|---|---|---|
| #bba | Protection | Page is locked against edits | {{protected}} |
| #b22222 | Deletion | proposed deletion | {{delete}} |
| #f28500 | Content | Problems with the content of an article, i.e., what the article actually says | {{expand}}, {{expand2}}, {{copypaste}}, {{stub}}, {{uncategorized}}, {{unreferenced}} |
| #f4c430 | Style | Problems not with the content, but how it is formatted/presented | {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}} |
| #1e90ff | Notice | Information readers/editors should be aware of | {{info}}, {{Otheruses}}, {{Current}}, {{GFDL content}} |
| #9932cc | Move | Merge and split proposals | {{merge}} |
The choice of color is partly inspired by the ANSI standard safety "Signal Words" and their corresponding colors: Danger (Red), Warning (Orange), Caution (Yellow), and Notice (Blue).
Most Article message boxes have a background color of #fbfbfb (slightly off white), which is intended to contrast slightly with the full white (#ffffff) used for articles, while still being easy to read.
