'''{{ARTICLEROOTPAGENAME}}''' notifies users that a template has been replaced by one or more new templates, or deprecated (advised to no longer be used) without a replacement. This template should ''not'' be placed in a page's documentation page; instead, it is placed ''within'' a template's code, either as part of it or replacing it entirely, to notify editors about that template's status. Pages that include this template are placed under [[:Category:Pages with deprecated templates]].
Whenever possible, this template should replace the deprecated template's content entirely, so that someone using the template will see only the message.
