Add Template:Deps shortcut

==Usage==
This is an inline template used to flag inappropriately cited [[WP:DEPS|deprecated sources]], which are [[WP:QS|questionable]] and discouraged from use.

When the template is added to a line of text in an article, the resulting clean-up tag links to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources]].

This template categorizes its tagged articles into the [[WP:PROJCATS|maintenance category]], [[:Category:All articles with deprecated sources]], which is [[Help:Hidden category|hidden]] in [[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] articles by a default setting in the user preferences. A logged-in user may view this and all other hidden categories by checking Show hidden categories on the Appearance tab of [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]].


This template takes a compulsory parameter (which a bot will set if the editor doesn't):
*{{para|date|''date''}}—in the format "''Month Year''" or "''YYYY-MM-DD''", etc.

If there is no doubt at all that the source is deprecated and used inappropriately, you can use a parameter to remove the "?" from the template's output:
*{{para|certain|yes}} or {{para|certain|y}}
