About this data
This page tracks how often Wikipedia template parameters fall out of use as articles evolve, measured across different languages. It reveals which language communities maintain their templates most actively and how long parameters typically remain useful. The data comes from analysing template parameter usage in Wikipedia dumps, focusing on parameters that are defined but never actually used in articles.
