*sigh*
This is exactly what the "Replace With" heading was added for, an
example of which is:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_category_head#Replace_With
As Jennifer noted, it would have been nice if these had been marked as
"in need of editing." Se la wiki...
Over the next day I'll see about making sure all *newer* deprecated
functions are so listed with correct replacement info.
Cheers,

The user experience of landing on a Codex page for a deprecated function

"This function has been deprecated. That means it has been replaced by a

versions. All code that uses this function should be converted to use
its replacement if one exists."
OK, so what function should you use instead? No hint whatsoever on that
page. So you turn to the "Related" section at the bottom of the page
hoping to find a similar function that's not deprecated. But nope - each
of these:
get_links_list, wp_get_links, get_links, wp_get_linksbyname,
get_linksbyname
has the same "I'm stuck in a hole with nowhere to turn" message as
above, no hint as to what to use instead. I think the Codex can do
better. I'd be happy to do some editing in the Codex to fix this, IF I
had a reliable list of all deprecated functions and their replacements.
Is there one?
