 | This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. | Template:Shortcut |
Template documentationUsage
- To include a shortcut, pass a parameter:
{{historical|WP:SHORT}}. - To provide a last updated date, use the named parameter "last", i.e.
{{historical|last=1 January 2000}} - To provide a briefer form of the text, use
{{historical|brief=yes}} - For a former policy, use
{{historical|type=policy}} - For a former guideline, use
{{historical|type=guideline}} - For a page closed down by explicit community consensus, use
{{historical|type=woundup}} - To provide an explanatory comment, use
{{historical|comment=explanatory text here}} - Pages using this template will be placed into Category:Inactive project pages unless the parameter category=no is given:
{{Historical}}(user and user talk pages are not categorized). - For related Wikipedia header templates, see Template messages/Wikipedia namespace.
- Please note that this template is not appropriate for portals, which exist for the purpose of informing readers on a given topic and, as such, can never truly be "inactive".
- It is also not appropriate for inactive WikiProjects which are dealt with according to the WikiProject Council/Guide; these should be tagged with {{WikiProject status|Defunct}} or {{WikiProject status|Inactive}}.
Adding shortcuts
- In addition, a shortcut can be added to this template by using the following syntax:
{{Historical|SHORTCUT}}
- Up to 5 shortcuts can be added to this template in this fashion:
{{Historical|SHORTCUT1|SHORTCUT2|SHORTCUT3|SHORTCUT4|SHORTCUT5}}
See also
- {{WikiProject status}}
- {{failed}} — for proposals that were never adopted
