: Well... ;-) the usual way to handle copyright is pretty much always to copy ''and'' rephrase/modify (before saving).  In essence doing a ''non verbatim'' "copy".  What I would do is to copy them and modify them for example using different styling and maybe change a few other things.
: Something I would recommend, that I have not done here (yet) is to have a meta-template used by the messagebox templates for the common elements, and probably also styling through a parameter.  Something that would save you from extra key presses is to use lowercase only template names (if you have that kind of control).
: ''Trivia:''  ''Note'', ''Caution'' and ''Warning'' are words I borrowed from typical flight manual/pilot operating handbook and cockpit indicator use, all sometimes defined by regulation to be used for notes of importance, cations about risk of damaging equipment or minor physical injuries and warnings about major damage to equipment, major physical injuries or death.  When used in cockpit indicators and displays, again sometimes by regulation, colors often associated with caution are yellow or amber, warning with red and systems not normally running with cyan.
