Template:Deleted text/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Deleted text. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
A way to mark up deleted text without using HTML. This template wraps the HTML tag <del>, which most browsers render by striking through the text.
Example:
I like free culture{{deleted text| and censorship}}! → I like free culture and censorship!
Note: {{del}} is not an alias for this template as it's used for another purpose.
Difference from strikethrough
[edit]{{strikethrough}} uses <s>, which renders similarly, like this, but has a different semantic value. It represents contents which are no longer accurate or relevant, but isn't appropriate to use for indicating removals of text from a document.
