Usage
Method 1
The following displays the note icon and the word 'Note:'. You can follow this with whatever text/images/markup you like, and it works in-line, within a paragraph.
Monsters are green. {{Note}} this is an in-line note, to remind you that some monsters are orangey-purple.

Specifying a second parameter explicitly lets you change the label:
This uses a template. {{Note|2=Be aware|}} that MediaWiki's templates are quite nasty.

Method 2
The following includes the text passed to the template, and uses a table to stop the text flowing round the icon. These always force a newline before and after the note.
{{Note|Here is a long note, which is sufficiently wordy to run onto a second line, which would normally cause it to wrap round the icon, but because we passed it as a parameter it keeps its left alignment straight.}}

{{Note|Although these long notes look good, external links cause them not to work for some reason. So, beware of that when using them - it must be a MediaWiki limitation deep in the source code.|Caution}}
