Template:Deprecated/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Deprecated.
It contains usage information, categories and other content or metadata that is not part of the original template.

Describes deprecated tag values.

Usage

{{Deprecated
| oldkey   = 
| oldvalue = 
| newtext  = 
}}

For example, this:

{{Deprecated
| oldkey   = shop
| oldvalue = fish
| newtext  = tag:shop=seafood
}}

does the same thing as this:

{{ValueDescription
| key           = shop
| value         = fish
| image         = File:Commons-emblem-hand.svg
| description   = Using this tag is discouraged, use tag:shop=seafood instead.
| osmcarto-rendering      = File:Shop-other-16.svg
| osmcarto-rendering-size = 28px
| group         = shops
| onNode        = no
| onWay         = no
| onArea        = no
| onRelation    = no
| combination   = 
| implies       = 
| seeAlso       = 
| status        = deprecated
| statuslink    = 
| languagelinks = no
}}
{{Deprecated feature
| {{tag|shop|seafood}}
}}

However, there are some issuses with the first way, see talk page.

Parameters

• oldkey= (mandatory) Deprecated key name
• oldvalue= (optional) Deprecated value
• newtext= (mandatory) Replacement text to link to
• group= (optional) Group name of deprecated key
• statuslink= (optional) Link to resource that lead to deprecated status

Additional parameter

• status=deprecated (optional) It is suggested by at least one user to keep or add the parameter status=deprecated as this is important information that might be relevant to retain in the page content. For now, it is not known that it makes a difference. But in the future it may provide the possibility to read this information from the page, e.g. fetched by taginfo. (See also Template talk:Deprecated.)

Translation

The template content is and can be translated in separate Template:DeprecatedLang.
