Template:Archived extension/en

{{Documentation|content=

Purpose
For archiving extensions in a way that removes them from standard view, but is still accessible in revisions history. This allows the wiki to both respect the original contributor by not completely removing their work, while reducing the amount of content that may inadvertently cause confusion or problems for sysadmins and developers. Also add the page to Category:Archived extensions.

Usage

 * oldID
 * Revision ID of the last revision which contained the extension's information
 * Can be found in the URL by visiting that revision from the page's history screen
 * If no oldid is provided, the page will automatically be placed in the category Archived extensions without an oldid.


 * Alternative1, Alternative2
 * Alternative extensions that perform similar functions


 * reason=
 * To provide a different explanation for why the extension is being archived.
