This is the Article message box meta-template.
It is used to build article message box templates such as {{Stub}}. It offers several different colors, uses default images if no image parameter is given, and has some other features.
You can find the full documentation on its Wikipedia page, however, this page will describe its usage on Uncyclopedia, pilferer of innocent templates.
Usage
{{ambox
|image = [[File:Heinz Beanz.jpg|50px|link=]]
|text = '''You ate way too many beans!'''<br />You must take a dump now or face the consequences later...
}}
The above code will produce this message:
