Template:Old game data
Marks a page whose data predates the current game — pre-release datamines, old loot fractions, superseded stats.
{{Old game data}} at the very top of the page, above the infobox. With a note about what specifically is stale:
{{Old game data|The drop rates below are from the pre-release build.}}
- Add it when a page's numbers, sources or drop information clearly belong to an older version — even when the name and the picture are still right.
- Only remove it once you have re-checked every number on the page against the live game. Taking the banner off because the page looks tidy is worse than leaving it on: a marked page is honest, an unmarked wrong page is not.
- It files the page into Category:Old version data
automatically, and only in article space, so it is safe to demonstrate on a project page.
We mark old data rather than deleting it. Old pages still carry usable names, images and history, and they get re-grounded in current data over time.
