'''''Note''': All parameters are optional, except for <code>text</code>.''

== Parameters ==
* {{para|expiry|expiry date}}
* {{para|id|optional HTML id}}
* {{para|header|header text}}
* {{para|headerstyle|CSS for header style}}
* {{para|text|body text}}
* {{para|textstyle|CSS for text style}}
* {{para|image|image}}
* {{para|imagesize|size of image, e.g., 35px}}
* {{para|imageright|image on righthand side}}
* {{para|class|CSS class name for the entire editnotice}}
* {{para|style|CSS values for the entire editnotice}}

::<small>''Use only the name of the image file, so instead of "<nowiki>[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg]]</nowiki>", use "'''Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg'''" following "image =".''</small>

If an editnotice targets a page that happens to be a redirect, the editnotice is categorized into the maintenance category {{cl|Editnotices whose targets are redirects}}. To suppress categorization, set {{para|redirect|yes}} explicitly. In almost all cases, this is not necessary.

=== Expiry date ===
The ''expiry'' parameter can be used to specify when an editnotice will cease to be visible on an article. This can be useful when an editnotice is created for reasons of a temporal nature. Any valid time format may be used, for example:
* January 2012
* 4 April 2009
* 11:09 April 5 2013
To specify that an editnotice never expire, you can simply not provide an expiry parameter, though this makes the edit notice display the {{tl|Editnotice/notice}} template in order to remind editors of any unintentional usage. To suppress this message while still setting the edit notice to never expire, {{para|expiry|indefinite}} may be used.

== Instruction editnotices ==
For editnotices that provide instruction on how to edit a page, the {{tl|Instruction editnotice}} [[WP:Wrapper templates|wrapper template]] may be used. It takes the same parameters as this template, but with the header, image, style, and expiration preset by default to encourage consistent formatting. It generates editnotices such as this:

{{Instruction editnotice
| text = To keep this list sortable, when adding a new entry using the [[WP:Source editor|source editor]], please use {{tlx|sortname|GIVEN NAME(S)|SURNAME}}. Thanks!
}}
