Yes, in development model ($wgDeveloperWarnings = true), deprecation warnings are visible. But very commonly, people don't actively work on this "hidden code" any more. They wrote it once, it's working, and they will not look at it again until it breaks. I'm not blaming them, that's what I do for "one off" code. If they are actively developing features, then sure. But then they are likely to read release notes, or tests against master. -- Daniel Kinzler Principal Software Engineer, Core Platform Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
