Introduction

This section deals with how to mark pages in the Sugar Labs wiki as deprecated.

The purpose of marking a page as deprecated is to inform visitors of content that is no longer valid and should not be used any further.

There's another related template Template:Dated that should be used for pages with stale or otherwise out-of-date information—but that in general just needs an update. https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Template:Dated

Before you mark a page as deprecated

Before marking a page as deprecated, make sure you have confirmed that the page content really is no longer valid (or that it has been replaced by more current information). It may be helpful to talk with someone who has recently edited the page, in case you have doubts.

Deprecate the Page

The way to deprecate a page is to include the Deprecated template. 

{{Deprecated |some text pointing to an [[alternative page]] or http://some.url or just text.}}

The template takes an extra (optional) parameter that can basically be any text and will be displayed right after the warning sign.

Deprecated Category

Deprecated pages are marked as belonging to the Category:Deprecated.
