{{OldTemplate}} is used on a template to denote that it has been archived, and is only being retained for historical purposes.
Usage
{{OldTemplate}} should be used on a template source page, inside the <noinclude> tags.
~last line of template code~<noinclude>
{{OldTemplate}}
[[Category:Templates]]
</noinclude>
It can also be used directly with the {{Documentation}} template. When using it this way (example below), the replacement instruction cannot be entered but it is expected that the documentation subpage will explain more about the replacement in the intro anyway.
