To include the date when the page was superseded, use |date= a.k.a. |since= a.k.a. |asof= a.k.a. |last=, using any sane date format:
{{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|date=25 October 2008}}
or
{{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|since=October 2008}}
or
{{superseded|Wikipedia:Notability|asof=October 25, 2008}}
etc. All of these examples generate:
| This Wikipedia page has been superseded by Wikipedia:Notability (since October 25, 2008) and is retained primarily for historical reference. |
