Template:Parallel version
 | This is a preserved parallel version of Template:Parallel version which cannot be history merged with the root page nor preserved as a redirect. It is instead preserved as a talk namespace subpage in order to retain its page history for proper attribution. It is not a blank page with unsubstantial page history. Please add a {{copied}} template to the talk page of the root page with the merge parameter set to any value in order to note the existence of this subpage. Once this is done, set the notedparameter of this template to true. Please also blank this page in order to remove any possible category listings or links to other pages. Once this is done, set the blankedparameter of this template to true. |
Usage
[edit]Place this on a preserved version of the page and blank the rest of the page in order to remove page links, categories, etc. Also supply the preserved talk page (if it exists) with talkpage.
Additional instructions are provided to aid first-time merge fixers and non-administrator performers. This instructs them to attribute to the old version using a {{copied}} template, and to blank the rest of the page. These instructions can be disabled with noted and blanked, respectively.
For preserved talk pages, set the talk parameter to true. Instead of supplying talkpage, supply subjectpage instead with the page name of the preserved subject page. Instructions for blanking do not show up if this mode is enabled.
See additional parameters in the template data section found below.
