 | Wikibreak is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon. |
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Wikibreak (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
 | This template is used on approximately 2,500 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
editThe simplest use is to place {{wikibreak}} on your user and/or user talk pages and the above will be displayed, but with your user name in place of "Wikibreak".
{{wikibreak|message=YourMessage}}, where YourMessage is the message you wish to use instead of the default above. Putting {{wikibreak|message=I will be on holiday}} will produce... | I will be on holiday. |
It is possible to adjust the size and change the type of image for your Wikibreak template. Note that to change the file name you should not add "File:".
{{wikibreak|message=I will be on holiday.|image=Clipart island.svg|imagesize=75px}}
 | I will be on holiday. |
For more options, in particular for the |type= parameter, see below.
