Template:Deprecated

[edit] [purge] Template documentation

The simplest form contains no arguments, and also should be avoided:

{{deprecated}}

This has been deprecated. Please suggest a replacement

As you can see, it wants a suggested replacement. See deprecated for more information on this reasoning.

However, first, let's introduce a reason for the deprecation. Do this with the first argument:

{{deprecated|reason}}

This has been deprecated for the following reason: reason. Please suggest a replacement

Then we can introduce the suggested replacement:

{{deprecated|reason|replacement}}

This has been deprecated for the following reason: reason. replacement

Or we can be cryptic and only offer a replacement:

{{deprecated||replacement}}

This has been deprecated. replacement

Sometimes, "This" is not descriptive enough. We also support the "what" argument to specify what exactly is deprecated.

{{deprecated|what=Living|It is inefficient|Upgrade to digital}}

Living has been deprecated for the following reason: It is inefficient. Upgrade to digital
