I am writing you about the use of Template:Ambox in MediaWiki.

I have a version 1.28 hosted MediWiki installation that works well apparently at everything, but I can't get the boxes explain here www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Ambox to work properly.

As a test I implemented in this page www.lucamauri.net/wikitrek/index.php?title=Pasticci the following code:

{{ambox
| type = notice
| text = Text for a big box, for the top of articles.
| smalltext = Text for the top of article sections.
}}


and I expected a nice box to show up. Instead I simply see the text Template:Ambox shown at the top of the page.
It seems like this template is not defined in MediaWiki, but, as far as I understood, this is built-in and in all examples I saw it seems it should work out-of-the-box.

I guess I miss something basic here, but it really escapes me: any help you might provide will be appreciated.

Thanks

Luca
