Parameters and options
To link more than one page, type the intended wording in wikified form:
{{superseded|'''[[Wikipedia:Use common sense]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:There's no common sense]]'''}}
This can also be used to provide more information, such as when an old essay has been replaced by something more important:
{{superseded|the guideline '''[[Wikipedia:Fringe theories]]'''}}
| This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia:Use common sense and Wikipedia:There's no common sense, and it is retained primarily for historical interest. |
To include a shortcut, add a "shortcut" parameter.
For related Wikipedia header templates see Template messages/Project namespace.
To include the date when the page was superseded, use |date= a.k.a. |since= a.k.a. |asof= a.k.a. |last=, using any sane date format:
{{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|date=25 October 2008}}
or
{{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|since=October 2008}}
or
{{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|asof=October 25, 2008}}
etc. The first of these examples generates:
| This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia:Notability (since 25 October 2008), and it is retained primarily for historical interest. |
