Visibility

As noted above, the easiest way to make the {{attention}} tag visible is by turning on the Catch My Attention gadget.

However, users can finely customise the appearance of {{attention}} by adding CSS rules to Special:MyPage/common.css. (Turn off the Catch My Attention gadget before using these rules.)

The following code will cause browsers to display "Text goes here" where {{attention}} is.

.attentionseeking:before {
	content: "Text goes here";
}

When the tag is visible, the comment in parameter |2=, if any, can also be viewed by hovering over the tag with your mouse.

It is easily customizable; the following code will cause browsers to display a bold, red "!!" where {{attention}} is.

.attentionseeking:before {
	content: "!!";
	color: red;
	font-size: larger;
	font-weight: bolder;
}

{{attention}} tags for certain languages can be specifically targeted:

[lang|=he].attentionseeking:before {
	content: "!! Hebrew request for attention !!";
	color: red;
	font-size: larger;
	font-weight: bolder;
}
