Template:Deleted text
(Redirected from Template:Deltext)
{{{1}}}
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:
<syntaxhighlight inline="1" lang="wikitext">I like free culture{{deleted text| and censorship}}!</syntaxhighlight> → 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
{{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.
