Both templates are largely a blank slate, changing to suit the needs of the editors that use them.

Based on a community discussion thread, The Sims Wiki is retiring its old "standard" message template, otherwise known as {{Parthenon}}. In its place, we are rolling out a new template known as {{Metabox}}.

Metabox is similar to Parthenon, in that it is intended to be the foundation for other templates on the wiki. Both templates are largely a blank slate, changing to suit the needs of the editors that use them. However, Metabox does introduce a couple changes that need to be understood before setting out to use the template.

Template type

Parthenon required editors to set the background and border colors for the template when first setting it up. Metabox does not require this... however, it does require that a type be set.
