Deprecate Template:/doc
editprotected Please deprecate this template by adding (see tdeprecated and the template documentation pattern) --AlastairIrvine 19:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This is because template doc provides a better "user interface", IMHO --AlastairIrvine 19:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there consensus for the deprecation? --MZMcBride 19:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This template is only to warn people that it is incorrect to transclude /doc ... so it is basically deprecated by default. But adding the deprecated template might deter others who come across this template from using the documentation subpage pattern.  Therefore I worry that it might not be a good thing.  --Iamunknown 19:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) There's no reason to deprecate this particular template because it has never been and was never meant to be used. It already links to the template documentation, and doesn't favor one method over another. –Pomte 19:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Bad/Good Example edit request
Please add a border; visually it's hard to differentiate between the columns. --Notmyhandle 07:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * ✅ Done - Yeah, it was hard to read those examples. I added the standard class="wikitable" to make the columns readable.

Needs default sortkey
Please add a category default sortkey for "pagename" or instead, add a doc pg. Thanks! --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * ✅. I've been trying to work out if this template is still needed. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Funandtrvl: I tried to add documentation to this page, since we should do as we teach. But it looked wrong, it made it look like this was not a warning message, but just another template. So I think we have to live without a /doc subpage for this page. So anyone that want to update its categories and interwikis have to use editprotected instead. Sorry about that.
 * MSGJ: Yeah, I don't see how people land on this page. I tried to type in the wrong /doc links in several ways both in page code and in the search bar, but didn't land on this page. But the stats say that this page gets some visits, so perhaps some people do end up here. So I guess we should leave it up. Better safe than sorry.

Template-protected edit request on 24 May 2021
Please change the page to:

to redirect readers to a better position instead of having an unused placeholder page. 54nd60x (talk) 06:13, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. The page has been in essentially its current form since its creation in 2007.  – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:32, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

The purpose of this template
This template is here to say that using /doc is inappropriate. However now we mostly transclude documentation so now we can TfD this page, maybe? Thingofme (talk) 03:20, 4 August 2022 (UTC)


 * No, this still serves a purpose for informing editors of docs pattern. Thingofme (talk) 10:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
