Template:Deprecated

This feature has been labeled as deprecated. The recommended replacement is: {{{newtext}}}.
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.
Under no circumstances should you (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database on a large scale without conforming to the automated edits code of conduct. Any such change will be reverted.

Template documentation[View] [edit] [history] [Purge]

Describes deprecated tag values.

Usage

{{Deprecated
| oldkey   = 
| oldvalue = 
| newtext  = 
}}

For example, this:

{{Deprecated
| oldkey   = shop
| oldvalue = fish
| newtext  = tag:shop=seafood
}}

does the same thing as this:

{{ValueDescription
| key           = shop
| value         = fish
| image         = File:Commons-emblem-hand.svg
| description   = Using this tag is discouraged, use tag:shop=seafood instead.
| osmcarto-rendering      = File:Shop-other-16.svg
| osmcarto-rendering-size = 28px
| group         = shops
| onNode        = no
| onWay         = no
| onArea        = no
| onRelation    = no
| combination   = 
| implies       = 
| seeAlso       = 
| status        = deprecated
| statuslink    = 
| languagelinks = no
}}
{{Deprecated feature
| {{tag|shop|seafood}}
}}

However, there are some issuses with the first way, see talk page.

Parameters

• oldkey= (mandatory) Deprecated key name
• oldvalue= (optional) Deprecated value
• newtext= (mandatory) Replacement text to link to
• group= (optional) Group name of deprecated key
• statuslink= (optional) Link to resource that lead to deprecated status

Additional parameter

• status=deprecated (optional) It is suggested by at least one user to keep or add the parameter status=deprecated as this is important information that might be relevant to retain in the page content. For now, it is not known that it makes a difference. But in the future it may provide the possibility to read this information from the page, e.g. fetched by taginfo.
