Category:Deprecated templates kept for historical reasons

The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add  [[Category:Deprecated templates kept for historical reasons]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:Deprecated templates kept for historical reasons]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category contains deprecated and orphaned templates where consensus is reached that they should no longer be actively used, but where removal of the template would seriously break the functionality of historical project pages like:

• Archived deletion discussions
• Talk page archives
• Arbitration decisions
• other technical reasons

To add a template to this category, use {{Historical template}}.
