Help Pages should be updated for Out of Use Templates to match Suggestions

Question

Automated: Template Sticker lists the following DBE 844 section templates as Retired, but the Help pages are not updated about whether continued use of them is correct or not.  Suggestion 844 is being generated for these templates, stating they are 'Out of Use' meaning they should not be used or has been replaced.  Help Page should be consistent with the Suggestion.  Should 'Retired' templates be removed or not?

• Menzies DNA Project
• Charlemagne descendant

Automated: Template Sticker lists the Beardsley templates as Deprecated.  Their Help pages have the banner stating that it is deprecated and should not be used on any profiles. 

• Beardsley-Spouse

The Jacky Clark and Huguenot section have Retired and Deprecated stickers, with similar situations as stated above.

Answer 1

Retired templates should be removed and NOT USED.

ALL HELP PAGES have not been updated stating they should NOT BE USED.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Suggestion is created for templates in DBE_844 section of Automated:Template_Index_Group page.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Automated:Template_Index_Group#DBE_844_.2824.29

When we decide to replace or remove the template, it gets the status deprecated or retired or something similar. We should stick to a consistent naming, but those statuses were set over 10 years by different people. I did some unification when I needed it clearly defined but there is still a lot to correct.

Template is then changed or deleted by user(s) or editbot or by DBE_844 suggestion. We give a lot of time to do this, since there can be a lot of profiles to correct. Suggestion can also be assigned at a later time, when some/most of the template usages were corrected. And when the use count gets to 0, I can actually delete the template.

Page Automated:Template_Sticker displays only the stickers and doesn't list all templates. Correct page to use is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Automated:Template_Index and other groupings linked at the top of the page
