{{ping|hike395|Jonesey95|Frietjes}} as some of the best template editors I know, I'd love to get your feedback on this module. I've been doing a lot of work cleaning up [[:Category:Deprecated parameters|Deprecated parameters]] and one of the ongoing frustrations has been figuring out which parameter is deprecated. So I took the lead from {{u|Frietjes}}' awesome [[Module:Check for unknown parameters]]. What this does is take a list of parameters including their old value and what they should be replaced with. If the module is implemented on a template, when that template is transcluded with deprecated parameters it will put the page in a given category. Additionally, when the page is previewed it will display ''{{red|'''Warning''': Page using <template name> with deprecated parameter "old_param". replace with "new_param" (this message is shown only in preview).}}'' I have a very rudimentary testcase setup at [[User:Zackmann08/deprecated page]] so that you can see what it does. To avoid redlinked categories, I'm passing in <code><nowiki>[[:Category:Pages using user:Zackmann08/deprecated template with deprecated parameters|_VALUE_{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki></code> so it will actually render a link. Anyway, no rush at all, but would love any feedback you can provide! --'''[[User:Zackmann08|<span style="color:#00ced1">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>]]''' (^{[[User_talk:Zackmann08|Talk to me]]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Zackmann08|<span style="color:orange;">What I been doing</span>]]}) 20:07, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
