Threading of replies on talk pages is done using indentation and lists. This template is used for outdenting a reply on a talk page when indentation gets too deep.

Usage

Simple usage

To outdent type {{od2}} at the beginning of your new line of text (with no space after).

Example:

::::Previous discussion, indented 4 levels deep.
{{od2}}I agree with what you are saying.

will yield

Previous discussion, indented 4 levels deep.

(←) I agree with what you are saying.

With custom outdent text

|1=Custom text replaces the arrow with the text provided.

Example:

::::Previous message, also indented 4 levels deep.
{{od2|Outdent}}I disagree with what you are saying.

will yield

Previous message, also indented 4 levels deep.

(Outdent) I disagree with what you are saying.
