At the moment there's quite a lot of UMC which uses deprecated WML and
it doesn't seem to get fixed. I think this might be partly caused by the
fact people don't know things are broken; most people don't look at the
console output Wesnoth generates.

To solve the problem I want to make a new logger, which stores all WML
problems encountered in Wesnoth and adds an extra button on the startup
page. This button named broken WML will show the messages encountered.
If no messages are available the button will be grayed out, if there are
messages the button will be red so it really gets noticed. I _want_ the
button to be intrusive so it does get noticed and not overlooked.

Next to that I think it might be nice if some syntax will be obsoleted
that the message will contain when the support gets removed. After the
support has been removed the message can stay for a while to indicate
when the support has been removed.

Once we find somebody who wants to work on the new campaign server we
can also start to block content which in known to be broken or at least
give an indication that it is broken.


How does this sound?
