{{highlight round|some text|bc=#ffa07a}}      →      some text

{{xt}}     →     Example text
  • {{xt}} inline positive example text, in green, with serif font
  • {{xt2}} same as {{xt}} but for blocks of text
  • {{bxt}} same as {{xt}} but uses bold instead of serif font
  • {{mxt}} same as {{xt}} but uses mono-spaced font (especially useful in source code)
     
  • {{!xt}} inline negative example text, in red, with serif font
  • {{!xt2}} same as {{!xt}} but for blocks (i.e., same as {{xt2}} but red)
  • {{!bxt}} same as {{!xt}} but uses boldface
  • {{!mxt}} same as {{!xt}} but uses mono-spaced font; used for incorrect or strongly deprecated code/output/input examples and should usually be wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd> as appropriate; see also {{dc}} and its variants below
  • {{!xts}} same as {{!xt}} but also strikes through the text
  • {{dcr}} inline strongly deprecated or deleted material; {{dc2}} variant has strikethrough (they both use the <del> element, and do not add monospace font on their own; can be used in mainspace (articles), and where necessary wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd>); see also {{dc}} below
     
  • {{xtd}} inline deprecated (or uncertain, unavailable, lorem, etc.) example text, in grey
  • {{bxtd}} same as {{xtd}} but uses boldface
  • {{mxtd}} same as {{xtd}} but uses mono-spaced font
  • {{dc}} inline deprecated or deleted material; (uses the <del> element, and does not add monospace font on it own; can be used in mainspace (articles), and where necessary wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd>); see also {{dcr}} above
     
  • {{xtn}} inline neutral example text, with no color change, when none of the above applies; used for "permissible" examples neither favored nor deprecated
  • {{xtn2}} same as {{xtn}} but for blocks of text
  • {{bxtn}} same as {{xtn}} but uses boldface; it still applies a CSS class, so it's not simply boldfacing
  • {{mxtn}} same as {{xtn}} but uses mono-spaced font; this is a good template to use when the shaded box formatting of <code>...</code> might be undesirable, or the semantics of it is incorrect in the context
     
  • {{strongbad}} – for introducing something as deprecated or issuing some other warning in documentation, e.g.: Not for use in mainspace.

Icons

edit

From Wikipedia:Icon standardization: The current icon scheme is an inconsistent combination of Nuvola and Nuvola-based icons, Tango and Tango-based icons, icons created for en.wikipedia (such as the original "Stop Hand" and "Octagon Warning" images, now replaced by "Web 2.0"-style Nuvola-based icons), and several failed standardization schemes (including the "ambox" icons and "Norro style 1").

Galleries:
My icon gallery
Inline icons: Wikipedia:Discussion, Wikipedia, Comment
Flat icons

Indication icons  
Norro style 1 icons/Voting icons  
OOUI icons better list by Kirbylover4000, or see test page  
Comparison of icon sets
