Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Strikethrough}} draws a line through the text that is its parameter. This is done by embedding the parameter in an HTML Template:Tag element, producing output such as: this, i.e. text with a line drawn through its middle. Outside articles, it can be used to mark something as no longer accurate or relevant without removing it from view. Do not use it, however, to indicate document edits; to mark a span of text as having been removed from a document, use Template:Tag. This template should be used within one block (paragraph); it should not wrap around multiple paragraphs or even multiple bullet points. See the example below for wrapping multiple bullets.

Example

How to wrap a block of text

To wrap text that contains line breaks, use {{Strikethroughdiv}} instead.
