Information about the specific MTA wiki page templates for this wiki. (They do probably not exists on other Mediawiki wiki's)

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]]	Tip: If you want to avoid spacing between the page title and the template itself, you should include the template before __NOTOC__ other templates and/or magic words.

Funtion / event templates

Deprecated function/event

Use this template to indicate functions or events that are being deleted from MTA because there is a more generic way to perform what they do (and they are necessary no longer). 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.

Disabled function/event

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 feature/item|targetVersion|showVersion|Revision}}

ADDED/UPDATED IN VERSION 2.9 r19999:

This template has 3.0157 and 2.9 and 19999 as parameters, so it'll be removed and only this text will be shown when MTA version is 3.1.2 or higher.

If you want to display a change from a previous version in the format of "Before version x.x", use the following code:

Format: {{Deprecated feature|untilVersion|showVersion}}

BEFORE VERSION 3.0

This template has 3.0300 and 3.0 versions as parameters, so this box will only be displayed until MTA's version is 3.0 or higher. After that, it'll disappear completely.
