Warning templates
General template warnings
- Deprecated template warning (
{{Internal/Warning/DeprecatedTemplate}})
Parameter warnings
- Invalid parameter warning (
{{Internal/Warning/InvalidParam}}) - Missing recommended parameter warning (
{{Internal/Warning/MissingParam}}) - Deprecated parameter warning (
{{Internal/Warning/DeprecatedParam}})
IMPORTANT: If you intend to create a new warning template, please make sure to also create its respective category page and make that category a subcategory of Category:Pages containing template warnings. This makes it easier to find and fixing template warnings on pages!
Usage
This template is used to signal issues or potential issues with template usage to the user. Templates should use this or another warning template in cases where a template is being used improperly (or in a deprecated manner), but is defaulting to some sensible functionality or was able to infer the correct intended usage. Warnings will not display on the rendered page for readers, but will be add a message to the page preview header and add the page to a relevant category.
Under normal circumstances, templates should use one of the other, more specific warning templates, so that the warning message, type and category is more specific.
IMPORTANT: Warnings should only be used in cases where the issue is recoverable, and the template is still displaying in a sensible manner on the page! If the issue cannot be recovered from, please use Template:Internal/Error instead, to give the editor a more severe warning!
