[edit] Documentation
{{deprecated template}} notifies users that a given template has been replaced by a different one.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.

Why is this template in Category:Redirect templates? It's not for use on a redirect page, is it? –RHolton≡– 02:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Questions about the new Tdeprecated format
What is the advantage of categorizing deprecated templates by month? We'll just be left with a lot of monthly categories, possibly many only holding one or two templates.
How does one use the new format for templates that are replaced with non-template solutions? For example, {{qif}}. The old version allowed free text to describe replacements. Pagrashtak 17:48, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Link the word deprecated, for those not familiar with it
Any objections to linking the word deprecated in this template? It would be helpful for those not familiar with the term. -- Zyxw 18:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
