{{tl|Strikethrough}} draws a line through the text that is its parameter. This is done by embedding the parameter in an HTML {{tag|s}} element, producing output such as: {{strikethrough|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 {{tag|del}}. This template should be used within one block (paragraph); it should not wrap around multiple paragraphs or even multiple bullet points, and it does not appear(?) to be able to wrap [external links] either. See the example below for wrapping multiple bullets.

Do not use this template, however, to indicate [[document]] edits; to mark a span of text as having been removed from a document, use {{tag|del}}, <del>which is aesthetically similar</del>. This template should be used within one block (paragraph); it should not wrap around multiple paragraphs or even multiple bullet points. See [[#How to wrap a block of text|How to wrap a block of text]] below for a different template that can wrap multiple lines.
