This is the  ([D]isambiguation footer [m]essage [box]) meta-template.  It is used to build disambiguation and set index article boxes, such as  and .  This template works similarly to  and mostly uses the same parameters. The main differences are that this box uses the disambiguation style and only has two "type" settings.   Usage  Simple usage example:  {{dmbox | text = Some text.}}  {{dmbox | type = setindex | text = Some text.}}  Complex example:  {{dmbox | type      = setindex | image     = {{nowrap| [[Image:Schooner.svg|30px]] [[Image:DAB list gray.svg|30px]] }} | textstyle = color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; | text      = The message body text. }}  Some other parameter combinations:   Parameters  List of all parameters:  {{dmbox | type  = disambig / setindex | image = none / [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]] | imageright = [[Image:Some image.svg|40px]] | style = CSS values | textstyle = CSS values | text  = The message body text.  | nocat = {{{nocat|}}} / true }}  type If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type disambig. disambig = Makes it so the  is displayed when editing a page with this template on. (Means that this template internally sets the CSS id "disambigbox". The id is used by the javascript in MediaWiki:Common.js to determine if a page is a disambiguation page or not.) And adds :Category:All disambiguation pages and :Category:All article disambiguation pages.  setindex = Does not trigger the  when editing a page. (Because this instead sets the CSS id "setindexbox".) And adds :Category:All set index articles.  nocat true = Stops this template from categorizing. Useful for instance when only testing or demonstrating this template. Templates that use this template should forward nocat, so they too understand nocat. So always add this: nocat = {{{nocat|}}}  image No parameter = If no image parameter is given, the template uses the default disambig or setindex image, depending on the type parameter. An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 30px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example: image = [[Image:Schooner.svg|30px]] none = Means that no image is used.  imageright No parameter = If no imageright parameter is given then no image is shown on the right side. An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 30px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example: imageright = [[Image:Nuvola apps bookcase.png|40px]] Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.  style Optional CSS values used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks " " but with the ending semicolons ;. For example: style = margin-bottom: 0.2em;  textstyle Optional CSS values used by the text cell. For example: textstyle = text-align: center;  text The message body text. This message box has italic text as default, thus no need to manually set that.   Technical details  This template currently uses hard coded styles and class names. Later it will only use CSS classes making it easier to skin. (In the meantime it can be skinned by using the "!important" keyword.)  If you need to use special characters in the text parameter then you need to escape them like this:  {{dmbox | text  = <div> Equal sign = and a start and end brace { } work fine as they are.  But here is a pipe {{!}} and two end braces <nowiki>}}</nowiki>.  And now a pipe and end braces <nowiki>|}}</nowiki>. </div> }}  Internally, this meta-template uses HTML markup instead of wiki markup for the table code. That is the usual way we make meta-templates since wiki markup has several drawbacks. For instance it makes it harder to use parser functions and special characters in parameters.
