'''Module:Check for deprecated parameters''' may be appended to a template to check for uses of deprecated parameters. It will place the page in a specific category, and display a preview message, when it finds deprecated parameter uses.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' due to the nature of deprecations, this module will often have no templates implementing it. <br />
<br />
For testing, see the [[Module talk:Check for deprecated parameters/testcases|output of the test cases]]. You should view that both normally and in preview mode to fully test the module.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{#invoke:Check for deprecated parameters|check<br />
| _category = {{main other|[[Category:Pages using TEMPLATENAME with deprecated parameters|_VALUE_]]}}<br />
| _remove = RemoveParam1; RemoveParam2<br />
| old_param1 = new_param1 <br />
| old_param2 = new_param2<br />
| ....<br />
| old_paramN = new_paramN<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Parameters ==<br />
* {{para|_category}} - what happens when an unknown parameter is used. Typically use either a tracking category to place pages that use deprecated parameters, or an error.<br />
* {{para|_remove}} - a {{code|;}} separated list of parameters that should simply be removed from the template, not replaced with another. For example: {{para|_remove|Param1; Param2; Param3}}<br />
* {{para|ignoreblank}} – by default, the module makes no distinction between a defined-but-blank parameter and a non-blank parameter. That is, both unlisted {{Para|foo|x}} and {{Para|foo}} are reported. To only track non-blank parameters use {{para|ignoreblank|1}}. If you clean your arguments with [[Module:Arguments]] and call this module afterwards, you need not use this parameter as that module ignores blank arguments by default.<br />
* {{para|preview}} – set a custom [[template:preview warning|preview warning]] message. Note the default is ''{{red|Page using LINKED_TEMPLATE_NAME with deprecated parameter _VALUE_}}''<br />
