This template is used for producing notices that display important information outside of the flow of a normal wiki page. They are especially useful in grabbing the reader's attention and ensuring the information within is read before anything else. This is how a notice might look like:

{{Notice|Here is some text that is important enough to be read first, before anything else on this page. By being structurally separate from the normal content flow, your eyes are likely to have noticed it first, leading you to be reading these lines right now.}}

=== Usage ===

There are two "big" kinds of notices: ''big'' and ''small''. The '''big''' notices are the default, and they stand out from the surrounding content. An example of one is the notice above, at the beginning of the documentation. Simply use the Notice template in order to include one:

<pre>
{{Notice|Here is some text that is important enough to be read first, before anything else on this page. By being structurally separate from the normal content flow, your eyes are likely to have noticed it first, leading you to be reading these lines right now.}}
</pre>

''Big'' notices can also include icons, which generally should be widely-supported unicode characters. For example, here is a notice about saving electricity:

{{Notice|icon=↯|Remember to switch off all electric equipment when leaving the room!}}

Displaying such a notice can be done by setting the <code>icon</code> parameter:

<pre>
{{Notice|icon=↯|Remember to switch off all electric equipment when leaving the room!}}
</pre>

The '''small''' ones flow more naturally within their content, thus are recommended for displaying text that is not meant to break the reading flow of a page. You can include an incon in these, but doing so is discouraged; if you need an icon in your notice, you almost definitely need a big one. For example:

{{Notice|small=yes|Use small notices to convey information that shouldn't interrupt the reading flow.}}

You can create a ''small'' notice by passing yes to the <code>small</code> parameter:

<pre>
{{Notice|small=yes|Use small notices to convey information that shouldn't interrupt the reading flow.}}
</pre>
