Because it's to mark a template as being deprecated, not the content of an article. We could imagine a deprecated template would be used to mark things (like utilities, mapping practices, port features, whatever) as being deprecated; and that template would display a notice for users of the wiki and maybe put the article in a special category. Instead, DeprecatedTemplate is about template management. It has no relevance to the end users or the content of the pages. --[[User:Gez|Gez]] ([[User talk:Gez|talk]]) 22:08, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
