Hello.

I've been noticing people have been incorrectly using Messages boxes (mostly Anboxes). I will tell you how to use them.

When putting one on a page, be sure to label the timedate. This lets people know how long the notice is there to let them know that the page has been unattended for a time.

And also, do not remove a message box until the issue has been resolved. You can't remove one just because you don't like it and sometimes the case is that you don't want it on a page you care about or on your page.

Finally, when labeling a page for deletion, never remove all of the page content. This can confuse administrators who have been told to delete the page, and so they don't know why it should be deleted.

Thank you for your time, and I hope this information sticks in your head so these mistakes will not happen again.
