When {{para|<var>contacttype</var>|<var>user</var>}} it displays: <code>send a private message to [http://www.waze.com/forum/ this user].</code>
+:Optional WikiURL parameter. Do not include the descriptor field of the URL, meaning only send the valid URL text without the extra space followed by a description of the URL. If Spanish is the display language put '''*''' character.
-'''draft'''
-:Optional parameter to display information on the quality or state of the content. Use {{para|<var>draft</var>|<var>yes</var>}} to say the information is still draft form and not ready for use. Use {{para|<var>draft</var>|<var>no</var>}} to say the information is accurate enough to be followed now. If the parameter is not included or is set to anything else, no text will be displayed regarding the draft condition.
-'''open'''
-:Optional indicator if other input is desired. Only with the presence of the {{para|contact}} parameter can you use {{para|<var>open</var>|<var>no</var>}} to display: <code>This page has already been identified as being needed. Content for this page is being prepared by one or more users. Do not make any changes before you </code> with the rest of the message coming from the {{para|contacttype}} parameter result. The default or empty {{para||open}} parameter will display: <code>This page has already been identified as being needed. This page is open to changes from anyone during construction.</code> Further, if the {{para|contact}} parameter is also set you will see: <code>If you have questions, please </code> with the rest of the message coming from the {{para|contacttype}} parameter result. Requires the {{para|contact}} parameter must be set to direct people with a URL.
-'''revision'''
-:The text can be altered to reflect the changes are based on a revision or a completely new set of information. This is related to the parameter {{para|draft}}, but fully independent of it. Use {{para|<var>revision</var>|<var>yes</var>}} for text saying it is a revision. Do not include that parameter or set it to anything else to result in text saying the information is new.
-'''section'''
-:The text can be altered to reflect the construction happening on the whole page (default) or just one or more sections. Use {{para|<var>section</var>|<var>yes</var>}} for text covering just a section. Do not include that parameter or set it to anything else to result in text covering the whole page.
-'''talk'''
-:If the talk page is currently being or will be used for initial thoughts on the page, use {{para|<var>talk</var>|<var>yes</var>}} to display: <code>{{Template:Mbox/Text/Talk}}</code>
