Deprecation of ⚠️ same Reference (Z17464) and the function deprecation (and deletion) process
I don’t think we have an agreed process for deprecating a function, so I made one up. Please feel free to comment here on the process. Please add any comments on the specific proposal to the proposal.
- If a function has no dependencies (other than its own implementations and test cases), it may be proposed for deletion at Wikifunctions: Requests for deletions.
- Rename the function to indicate that it is (at risk of being) deprecated or deleted (using ⚠️, for example).
- Propose the function’s deprecation or deletion on its Talk page, see Talk:Z17464, for example.
- Announce a proposal for deprecation on Wikifunctions:Project chat. This will not generally be necessary for a simple deletion.
- If there are no objections to the proposal within seven days, the function is deemed to be deprecated.
- If there are no remaining dependencies or outstanding actions (identified in the proposal or comments), a deprecated function may be proposed for deletion.
I expect to add this topic to Wikifunctions talk:Best practices next Saturday. GrounderUK (talk) 11:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- That seems fine to me, but I think some clarification between deprecation and deletion would be nice. Zippybonzo (talk) 20:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Good point. I’ll add a bit of an introduction. Thank you. GrounderUK (talk) 07:22, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
