Reasoning
This is a temporary solution to this issue. However, while things are worked on, I’ll make my case:
It’s been quite inconvenient to annotate documents only to realize later that the selected case is in the deprecated topic. For all curators’ sanity, whether experienced or new, having said cases explicitly marked would be of much help.
Caveat
This would mean having to decline (or request changes if the point’s author is still active), each and every point associated to said cases.
If you agree, I am 100% willing to take care of the aforementioned task, and would guarantee to see it to its completion.
Why not just memorize the ones that are deprecated?
- Some of the deprecated cases are worded very similarly to non-deprecated ones, making it a bit difficult for the curator to differentiate.
- We ought to entertain the possibility of more cases becoming deprecated in the future, for whatever reason; this would make memorizing a cumbersome process once again for curators/staff.
A solution for this is being worked on, so this is not needed.
In case this is argued: sadly, development has been slow, and it isn’t anyone’s fault. This solution aims to be a quick fix in the short term for the benefit of curators and/or staff. This shouldn’t complicate things for our dev team when coming up with a solution.
