This documentation is transcluded from Template:Superseded/doc.

Note: This template is used on a lot of pages. In order not to put too much load on the servers, edits should be kept to a bare minimum. Please discuss proposed changes on the talk page first.

Afterwards, changes can initially be done at and tested with Template:Superseded/sandbox: [edit].

Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the servers since it fills up the job queue.
Keep in mind that templates that are used on file description pages also show up on other wikis.
This page is template-protected from editing to prevent vandalism. Only template editors and administrators can edit it. Get their attention by placing {{Edit protected}} at the talk page.

en-1	The description below was composed by a non-native English speaker. You are cordially invited to improve the literal quality of any textual expression.

This template shows that a better image should be used instead of the current image.

The template automatically sets the following categories:

• when transcluded from a SVG file:	raster	Bitmap version available
• when transcluded from a SVG file:	SVG	Superseded
• when transcluded from raster files:	raster	Superseded
• when transcluded from raster files:	SVG	Superseded by SVG	Template {{Vector version available}} should be used !^{[clarification needed]}

Usage

Or use the shorthand

Superseded{{Use instead}}, more
Superseded by JPG{{SupersededJPG}}, {{SupersededJPEG}}, more
Superseded by PNG{{Superseded PNG}}, {{SupersededPNG}}, {{NowPNG}}, more

The main template is Superseded. It handles each combination of superseded and superseding files.
If a redirect with wrong extension names is used, as PNG available but the superseding file is SVG, it will work correctly but the displayed text may be misleading.^{[clarification needed]} See also "Intentions".

Within Image generation the short code \- can be used.

Template parameters

Parameter	Description	Default	Status
`1`	File name of the better image; different possibilities: full file name of other file, with extension file name of other file, for the missing extension "png" is assumed no name provided, the PAGENAME with the extension "png" is used	see description and examples	optional
`2` reason	detailed information can be specified why the other file should be used {{Superseded by PNG}} uses "A PNG version of this file is now available." for default {{Superseded by JPG}} uses "A JPG version of this file is now available." for default	000`EMPTY` 000default	optional
`ext`	a valid extension code, e.g. png or jpg	{{{extpng}}}	optional
`lang`	language code (ISO 639), to display a translated version when the SVG file contains translations using SVG <switch> elements.^{[clarification needed]}	{{int:lang}}	optional

Additional information

The template is intended to be used in the following namespaces: the File namespace

The template is intended to be used by the following user groups: no user group specified

Relies on:
{{Superseded/layout}} or {{Bitmap version available}}

Intentions

This template is only intended to be used with image files. For other types of files, use {{Superseded2}} instead.

Depending on the combination of the file where the template is used (the "origin"), and the file specified by the transclusion (the "target"), different requests are assumed.^{[clarification needed]}

origin file	target file	category	meaning
vector	raster	Bitmap version available	a bitmap version to that vector graphics is available; it is possible to specify whether file has better quality
vector	vector	Superseded	target supersedes origin
raster	raster	Superseded	target supersedes origin
raster	vector	Superseded by SVG (Vector version available)	vector version available; when the better suited template {{SupersededSVG}} is used it can be specified which of the two files has better quality
other	other	Superseded	target supersedes origin; (even if video or audio files, the template always speaks about "images")

It does not matter which of the many redirects for "Superseded" or "Bitmap version" is used, after checking the two file extensions the template decides about categorization.
Even when Superseded by JPG (or Superseded by PNG) is used for another file extension (bitmap or vector graphic, or audio/video file) it will work well –
but it seems not very wise to specify e.g. Bitmap version available when the target file is a vector version (nevertheless it's seducing to use always the short {{bva}}).
With the parameter "reason" the relation of the two files can be specified, and other information may be given.
