Template documentation

This documentation is  transcluded from Template:Strikethrough/doc. (Edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

{{Strikethrough}} draws a line through the text that is its parameter. This is done by embedding the parameter in an HTML <s>...</s> element, producing output such as: this, i.e. text with a line drawn through its middle. Outside articles, it can be used to mark something as no longer accurate or relevant without removing it from view. Do not use it, however, to indicate document edits; to mark a span of text as having been removed from a document, use <del>...</del>, which is aesthetically similar. This template should be used within one block (paragraph); it should not wrap around multiple paragraphs or even multiple bullet points, and it does not appear(?) to be able to wrap [external links] either. See the example below for wrapping multiple bullets.

How to wrap a block of text

To wrap text that contains line breaks, use {{Strikethroughdiv}} instead.

{{strikethroughdiv| * This * That * And another thing}}
