-## OneHotEncoder
+## OneHotEncoder (Deprecated since 2.3.0)
-[One-hot encoding](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-hot) maps a column of
label indices to a column of binary vectors, with at most a single one-value.
This encoding allows algorithms which expect continuous features, such as
Logistic Regression, to use categorical features.
+Because this existing `OneHotEncoder` is a stateless transformer, it is
not usable on new data where the number of categories may differ from the
training data. In order to fix this, a new `OneHotEncoderEstimator` was created
that produces an `OneHotEncoderModel` when fitting. For more detail, please see
the JIRA ticket (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13030).
+
+`OneHotEncoder` has been deprecated in 2.3.0 and will be removed in 3.0.0.
Please use [OneHotEncoderEstimator](ml-features.html#onehotencoderestimator)
for one-hot encoding instead.

I think you can remove "for one-hot encoding" and just make it "use
`[OHE](...)` instead"
