Hi Bryan,
this is precisely the missing documentation I was trying to find, thank
you so much!
I was on the right track (editing the template page manually) but didn't
know how to pass the use input.
This should be part of the official docs I reckon.
Thanks again, you made my day :)
Cheers,
frank

Hi Frank,
You could start with an easier version. For example, do the following:
1) In you wiki, search for *Template:Note*
2) Presumably that template doesn't exist, so create it and add the
following, then save:
<span style="border:1px; border-style:solid; border-radius: 7px;
border-color:#ddffdd; background-color:#f2fff2; padding:0.1em;
margin:0.1em; display:
inline-block;">[[File:Bulbgraph.png|18px|Note|link=]] '''Note:''' {{{1|}}}</span><noinclude>
== Usage ==
Lightbulb Note:
<pre><nowiki>
{{Note|Your note text}}
</nowiki></pre>
</noinclude>
3) The only new thing you'll need is the image, you can download it
here <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Bulbgraph.png> and as long
as you upload it to your wiki with the same name, it should work fine.
4) Try your new template out by inserting it on a new page with
*{{Note|This is Frank's template test.}}*
Notes:
* Remember, the template namespace is special so the call above
(/{{Note|This is Frank's template test.}}/) is the same as
*{{Template:Note|This is Frank's template test.}}*
* You can "transclude" any page into any other with the following
*{{:Some page}}*, this works for the Main namespace, for others, you
need to use the namespace *{{Help:Info page}}*
* The <noinclude> tag just says, don't copy this part over as a part
of the template, but it can be used to show stuff on the page
* The example above has one "input" to the template that is un-named
{{{1}}}, the pipe after just says, if there isn't anything passed
through, just leave it blank, otherwise it would actually pass through
{{{1}}} if the user didn't pass anything.
* You can play with named values {{{color|}}} & {{{text|}}}, etc.
Regards,
Bryan

Thanks a lot Manuela!
I will look at defining the simple css classes required to make those
examples work.
I was just under the impression that these would already exist in the
default install.
Will give it a go, thanks again!
