Template:Outdated/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Outdated.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

Usage

{{outdated}} creates an information box with a warning message telling the user that the content of the page is outdated. The box will show at the position on the page where you put the template, and stretch horizontally to fill the width of the available space and vertically depending on how many rows of text are needed. It is based upon {{warning}}.

Parameter

There is only one parameter, which is unnamed (below called 1) and optional. The text inside the box can be formatted using wiki-code.

Syntax

To use the template, type {{outdated}} or {{outdated|custom text}}.

Optional parameter

1

Custom text

This parameter is used for entering additional message text. It is unnamed, so no parameter name needs to be entered.

The text you enter will be prefixed by the string "The content of this article may be out of date. ".

Usage

• {{outdated|custom text}}
