Template:Tdeprecated/doc

This is the {{tdeprecated}} template.

Note: This template itself is not deprecated. However using it with only one parameter is deprecated, it now takes 2-3 parameters instead. In the display above it gets no parameters, that's why the small text says: "This usage is deprecated."

{{deprecated template}} redirects here and can be used as an alternative name for this template.

This template notifies users that a given template has been replaced by a different one. This is useful when usage is different (so a redirect won't work) or you'd like to reduce the number of redirects (which makes bot parsing more difficult).

Whenever possible, it should replace the deprecated template's content entirely, so that someone using the template will see the message.
