{{DYK mbox}} is a messaging utility template for posting messages related to Did you knowFile:DYK questionmark icon.svg operations.

---

---

You can use |xfile= to eliminate the image; the text floats to the left margin, and the box only grows as large as the included text; {{DYKM|xfile=true}} is shown below:

---

---

Or you could use a non printable character in place of the image {{DYKM|file= |text}} which maintains the image's margin as if it were in place and the size of the box is maintained as shown below:

---

---

The |small= parameter switches from the 80% width, center aligned, message box to a smaller box that aligns to the right side of the line it is added to. It uses similar parameters as the main box except they begin with a small s, for example the text parameter for the small box is |stext=. Therefor the following code: {{DYKM|small=y|stext=This is the small box text}} produces the following:

---

---

Several other parameters are incorporated that modify the template's output for specialized use (examples are shown below)).

Examples

Custom messaging examples are included as expandable content.
