Template:Classic only
Use this at the top of articles on subjects that are no longer in the main game, but exist on the Classic servers. It places the article in a category such as Category:Removed in patch 4.0.3a, depending on what patch is given; if no patch is given, places the article in Category:Removed from World of Warcraft.
This template should appear on all classic realm articles.
Note: This template defines certain variables for use by other templates. It always adds the classic
variable, defining it as classic
, tbc
, wotlk
, or cata
. It also adds the removed
variable unless "unique=" is used.

- Depending on the patch provided, content not unique to Classic will appear either as being available in the current Classic version or as being entirely removed.
- Unique-to-Classic content will always display the Classic version it was added in, but the wording (is versus was) and the bullet-point note vary depending on the current Classic version.
