Template:Edition
 | This template has been deprecated. Please use {{header|edition=yes}} instead. |
Usage
This now-deprecated template was used in the Notes = field of {{header}}, to direct users to the Talk page of the work. Normally, no parameters are need for the template so it is simply used thus:
{{edition}}
Placing this template at the top of any text page of a work and the corresponding Talk page should contain Template:Textinfo data (talk). This will alert the reader that information about the edition is available on the Talk page.
|title= can also be used to specify a Talk page other than Talk:{{PAGENAME}}.
Deprecation
This is still in use because {{header|edition=yes}} uses {{plain sister}} which implements |edition=yes differently than this template does.
First, {{plain sister}} links to {{TALKSPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}} which is different than always linking to the main talk space as this template links to Talk:{{PAGENAME}}.
Second, {{plain sister}}, does not implement a replacement for the |title= parameter of this template, so it cannot link to other main talk pages. It is commonly used to link to the talk page of a main page that is a base page of the current page (so things like chapter subpages can link to the edition documentation of a base page).
