The {{Tdeprecated}} template notifies users that a given template has been replaced by a different one.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.

Usage

{{Tdeprecated|old template name|new template name}}

or

{{Tdeprecated|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|new template name}}

or with a date parameter

{{Tdeprecated|old template name|new template name|date=January 2026}}

Examples

Usage without a date parameter categorises templates to Category:Deprecated templates.

{{Tdeprecated|old|new}}
{{Tdeprecated|old|new|parameter}}
{{Tdeprecated|old|new|<nowiki>parameter|fuu</nowiki>}}

Template:Tdeprecated Template:Tdeprecated Template:Tdeprecated

Adding the date parameter categorises the template to Category:Templates deprecated from January 2026.

Technical details

This template changes style depending on what kind of page it is show on. Thus it adheres to the standardised looks for the different pages. For instance if this template becomes visible in an article it looks like this:

Template:Tdeprecated
