{{Commons category|Deprecated templates}}
This category contains templates that are "deprecated" – they have been superseded by another template, often because the new template is more flexible or combines the features of two previously separate templates.
{{Tlx|Deprecated template|old template name|new template name|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
Usage without a date parameter categorises templates into this category. Adding the date parameter categorises the template into a dated subcategory.
If a deprecated template is still in use on other pages, add {{Tag|noinclude}} tags around the {{Tl|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 {{Tl|Historical template}}.
