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template notifies users that a given template has been replaced by a different one or ones, or simply deprecated (advised to no longer be used) without a replacement.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

{{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.
