The {{Deprecated template}} template notifies users that a given template has been replaced by a different one or ones, or simply deprecated (advised to no longer be used) without a replacement. 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 only the message.
Usage
{{Deprecated template|old template name|new template name|date=April 2026}}
Usage without a second (replacement) template name simply produces:
| Template:Deprecated template is deprecated. |
The template changes style depending on what kind of page it is shown on. Thus it adheres to the standardised looks for the different namespaces.
If a deprecated template is still in use on other pages, add <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags around the {{Deprecated template}} template. That way the template page will show the deprecation tag, but pages using it will not. If a template has been fully deprecated, meaning that it not in use on other pages, the noinclude tags may be removed. That way a deprecation tag will show on any page using the deprecated template. Afterwards consider nominating the template for deletion, or marking it with {{Historical template}}.
