The last two arguments of this template aren't mandatory, and can be ignored if there isn't an alternative function or aditional text.

Format: {{Deprecated|alternativeFunction|more text}}

	This function is deprecated. This means that its use is discouraged and that it might not exist in future versions, but there should be a more generic way to perform what it does.

Format: {{Requirements|minServerBuild|minClientBuild}}

This template will be deleted.

Module only function/event

Use this template to indicate a module only function/event template. That will inform readers that this function is module specific and not build-in to MTA itself. Note: You only have to add the module name not the 'Modules/' prefix.

Format: {{ModuleFunction|Module Name}}

	This function is provided by the external module ModuleName. You must install this module to use this function.

New function/event/change

Use this template to indicate a function, event or change that will be applied in a future version of MTA. This template is best used when it contains the function/event/change description, because it removes itself when MTA gets updated (MTA version is greater than the targetVersion specified in this template parameters). All arguments of this template are mandatory. Notes: targetVersion parameter must be a number in the format 3.0XXX, where XXX is the version when the function/event/change will be applied. For example, if a function will be added in MTA version 2.0.1, put 3.0201 in targetVersion. showVersion parameter is only visual and specifies the text contained in "From version ... onwards".

Format: {{New items|targetVersion|showVersion}}

ADDED/UPDATED IN VERSION 3.0 :

This template has 3.0300 and 3.0 versions as parameters, so it'll be removed and only this text will be shown when MTA version is 3.0 or higher.
