Module:Check for deprecated parameters: Difference between revisions

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Module:Check for deprecated parameters may be appended to a template to check for uses of deprecated parameters. It will place the page in a specific category, and display a preview message, when it finds deprecated parameter uses.

Note: due to the nature of deprecations, this module will often have no templates implementing it.

Usage

{{#invoke:Check for deprecated parameters|check
| category = [[Category:category_name|_VALUE_]]
| old_param1 = new_param1 
| old_param2 = new_param2
| ....
| old_paramN = new_paramN
}}

By default, this module will flag empty uses of deprecated parameters. To turn this off, set |ignoreblank=yes.
