Historical content would have been better imo. - BeX 03:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. -- Gordon Ecker 07:28, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Bad wording

I don't like the way this is worded. Specifically, "the information on this page does not apply to the game as it currently is." See Gain Olias for example -- the information on that page does apply to the game as currently is, because the relevant parts of the article are written in past tense.

I'm in favor of relegating this template to a temporary status. When a feature is removed, and you're too lazy to rewrite the article about it, toss this template up. When somebody comes along and rewrites the article in past tense with appropriate annotations, remove the template, as the article is then accurate with the game.

How would you feel if it went more like "The content described on this page does not apply" etc etc instead? That way it would still mark articles written in present tense outdated, and still draw attention to articles that are already written in past tense as being separate without setting up a double-negative. - Tanetris 03:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. I'm not sure that works, though I think I see where you're trying to go. Maybe something a little more informative/stark, like

Note: This article details content that was either temporary or removed by a game update. Please read the article carefully to determine the current state of this game content and what other content, if any, may have replaced it.

What do you think?

I like that, I think it is important to have a template that encompasses all the items with it currently on, while you can still do the quest Gain Olias for most people it is now a remnant of the past. --Lemming 16:15, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

rollback

I removed the line about unimplemented content as that has a separate template here. {{Unimplemented content}} --Lemming 18:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

ah, didn't know about that one. --VVong|BA 18:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
