type
The type parameter defines the colour of the left bar, and the image that is used by default. The type is chosen not on aesthetics but is based on the type of issue that the template describes. The seven available types and their default images are shown below.
 |
| type=delete – Deletion issues, such as {{article for deletion}} and {{proposed deletion}}. |
 |
 | type=style – Style issues, such as {{cleanup}} and {{underlinked}}. |
 |
 | type=move – Merge, split and transwiki proposals, such as {{split}} and {{copy to Wiktionary}}. |
 | type=protection – Protection notices, such as {{pp-vandalism}} and {{pp-protected}}. |
If no type parameter is given the template defaults to |type=notice.
