Whenever possible, this template should replace the deprecated template's content entirely, so that someone using the template will see only the message.

Usage

Use as follows:

{{Deprecated template|Old template|Template: New template|details=Further details.}}

to get:

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.

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