Amboxes (article message boxes) are small, centered containers used to display text giving context about an article in a short, standarized way. They can be used to give context to an entire article (EG use "WIP" if a whole article needs work) or for a small section of the article. There are many Amboxes and using them is important.

If you want to embed an Ambox (or any template for that matter), type {{}} and put the name of the Ambox (or template) you want to embed inside the curly brackets. If you're using the visual editor, just click the puzzle piece in the toolbar.

CW

CW should be used on articles covering sensitive subjects like sex, pedophilia, etc. A lot of things around Cyraxx covers sensitive subjects, so use this conservatively.

OutOfDate


You generally should not need to use this as you should update the article instead of putting this ambox in it.

Doxxing

Only use this in articles about people.

InfoRemoved

This ambox should only be added or removed by admins.

WIP


This is used in articles that are unfinished. Generally it's not advised to leave articles unfinished, though.

Citations


Short


This is used in articles that are missing some content but the missing content doesn't really come at the expense of inormation.
