Fix the code: {{ARTICLESPACE}} uses the namespace of the *page it's transcluded on*, not the namespace of the template itself, so it would be problematic.

The <nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''Deprecated template'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> template notifies users that a given template has been replaced by a different one or ones, or simply deprecated (advised to no longer be used) without a replacement. Whenever possible, it should replace the deprecated template's content entirely, so that someone using the template will see only the message.


== Usage ==
{{#if: {{{details|}}} | '''Details:''' {{{details}}}}}
Use as follows:
 
<nowiki>{{Deprecated template|Old template|Template: New template|details=Further details.}}</nowiki>
 
as to get:
 
{{Mbox
| type = delete
| text = '''Template: Old template''' is deprecated. Please use [[Template: New template]] instead. Further details.
}}
}}

The last two parameters are optional. This can be useful when the template was replaced by something other than a new template, like a category.
[[Category:Message boxes]]

The parameter names can be omitted if they are used in the same order as specified above.
