Usage[edit source]

Basics[edit source]

  • To include a shortcut, pass a parameter: {{Historical|HP:SHORT}}.
  • To provide a last-updated date, use the named parameter "last" or "date", i.e. {{Historical|last=1 January 2000}}. This should only be used for substantive updates, not things like bot tweaks or typo fixes.
  • 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}}. If you want to point to a successor page, use {{Superseded}} instead of {{Historical}}.
  • Pages using this template will be placed into Category:Inactive project pages unless the parameter |category=no is given: {{Historical|category=no}} (user and user talk pages are not categorized).
  • For related Hârnica header templates, see Template messages/Hârnica 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[edit source]

  • 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}}
