Template:Deleted text

{{{1}}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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

{{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.

• {{inserted text}} for indicating text insertions
