Let me know when done, and I'll update the documentation for the module, and make other tweaks.

:: Looking at the archive I see you make changes without awaiting consensus. I find this modern gatekeeping behaviour unfortunate. All the best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]''<small> 02:48, 17 December 2025 (UTC).<br /></small>
:::Flinging some incorrect mud (I have been very public about the changes I've implemented of my own resort in this module even if you didn't find where) is not any more likely to convince me or anyone else of the value of {{em|this}} change (see also [[WP:OTHERSTUFF]]: your edit request is relevant, not any of my edits).
:::I also note that you were apparently able to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Hooks&diff=cur&oldid=1327880498 implement the same display as what you wanted] without making the change in this module. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 04:00, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
::::And just to be very clear, the two changes at my desire have been the following:
::::# Supporting TemplateStyles. In this module, that had prior requests at [[Module_talk:Message_box/Archive_1#Use_TemplateStyles|Use TemplateStyles]], [[Module_talk:Message_box/Archive_1#A_question_to_small_param_and_TemplateStyle|A question to small param and TemplateStyle]], and [[Module_talk:Message_box/Archive_1#Site-local_configuration_source_for_sisters_importing_from_here|Site-local configuration...]]. I had set up [[MediaWiki talk:Common.css/to do]] previously with provided description there, and have generally advertised that link every chance I get because I don't like being the only person spending time on making changes more accessible to a wider public (you may check [[Special:Whatlinkshere/MediaWiki talk:Common.css/to do|what links here]] at your leisure), and had also generally mused about the problem {{em|much}} earlier at [[Wikipedia_talk:TemplateStyles/Archive_1#In_the_context_of_meta_templates|In the context of meta templates]]. That culminated, when I finally got around to it, in [[Module_talk:Message_box/Archive_1#mbox_is_now_TemplateStyled_only|mbox is now TemplateStyled only]] and associated target link. For which there have been no complaints not trivially remedied.
::::# Changing the table structure to divs. {{em|That}} change is [[Module_talk:Message_box#CSS_instead_of_tables|right there]] and was also implicated in [[Module_talk:Message_box/Archive_1#Aria_roles|Aria roles]] and separately reinforced in the individual advertisements I've so far made, like [[Module_talk:Message_box/Archive_2#cmbox_migration|cmbox migration]]. The cmbox migration section was incidentally also advertised to VPT.
::::Any other changes that I made were implemented due to requested edit. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 04:21, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
:::::I don't mind that you made intelligent changes to the module, saying "Ok I did it anyway" - in fact I absolutely support them.  ''Even if I would have disagreed with them.''
:::::And yes, I coded around the obstacle by using an older method which I had previously used in {{Tlx|Hook}} (which I created).  People have "updated" that, I do them the courtesy of assuming that their updates add value, unless I know otherwise.  
:::::If someone wants to update {{Tlx|Hooks}} in the same way that {{Tlx|Hook}} was updated, they will have to, apparently, gain consensus.  I won't.
:::::If I see a problem on Wikipedia I like to fix it.  If something stops me doing it one way, I'll usually try another.
:::::Hope that is all clear, and that you agree with my sentiments.
