 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 367,000 pages, or roughly 23053% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module may be appended to a template to check for uses of deprecated parameters. The purpose is to locate deprecated parameters, display a message and place the page in a specific category noting that it is deprecated.
Note: due to the nature of deprecations, this module will often have no templates implementing it.
