Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Specify the title of the superseding page:

{{superseded|Wikipedia:Use common sense}}

This template categorizes pages into Category:Inactive project pages

Parameters and options

To link more than one page, type the intended wording in wikified form:
     {{superseded|'''[[Wikipedia:Use common sense]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:There's no common sense]]'''}}

This can also be used to provide more information, such as when an old essay has been replaced by something more important:
     {{superseded|the guideline '''[[Wikipedia:Fringe theories]]'''}}

To include a shortcut, add a "shortcut" parameter.

For related Wikipedia header templates see Template messages/Project namespace.

To include the date when the page was superseded, use |date= a.k.a. |since= a.k.a. |asof= a.k.a. |last=, using any sane date format:

     {{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|date=25 October 2008}}
or
     {{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|since=October 2008}}
or
     {{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|asof=October 25, 2008}}
etc. All of these examples generate:
