Usage edit

A template to mark an obsolete template's name as deleted and reserved. This is to prevent recreation and confusion with a newer, slightly different template. For example {{small}} and {{smaller}} have similar names, but slightly disparate meanings in the context of CSS styling.

Use the parameter "repl" to give a replacement template.

This template automatically adds to the category Category:Deprecated templates with reserved names

Example without replacement edit

{{deprecated template reserved}}

This template has been deprecated. A redirect does not exist, as this template had subtle differences with any replacement(s), and confusion may arise. Please do not create a new template with this name, to prevent confusion with replacements.

{{deprecated template reserved|repl=Smaller}}

This template has been deprecated in favour of {{Smaller}}. A redirect does not exist, as this template had subtle differences with its replacement(s), and confusion may arise. Please do not create a new template with this name, to prevent confusion with replacements.
