+#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
+
+You gave too many lifetime arguments. Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0107
+fn f() {}
+
+fn main() {
+    f::<'static>() // error: wrong number of lifetime arguments:
+                   //        expected 0, found 1
+}
+```
+
+Please check you give the right number of lifetime arguments. Example:
+
+```
+fn f() {}
+
+fn main() {
+    f() // ok!
+}
+```
+
+It's also important to note that the Rust compiler can generally
+determine the lifetime by itself. Example:
+
+```
+struct Foo {
+    value: String
+}
+
+impl Foo {
+    // it can be written like this
+    fn get_value<'a>(&'a self) -> &'a str { &self.value }
+    // but the compiler works fine with this too:
+    fn without_lifetime(&self) -> &str { &self.value }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let f = Foo { value: "hello".to_owned() };
+
+    println!("{}", f.get_value());
+    println!("{}", f.without_lifetime());
+}
+```
