I’d like to bring up some concerns about the documentation for deprecated functions, methods etc.
I observed that whenever a feature/method is deprecated, it’s removed from the documentation. This can be a problem for some people.
For example, .Site.IsServer is deprecated in Hugo v0.120.0. What if someone not using v0.120.0, needs to know about .Site.IsServer ?
Instead of removing .Site.IsServer from documentation, would it be possible to relocate it to a dedicated page, perhaps docs/content/en/deprecated-hugo-features.md?
This page could serve as a list of all deprecated features, including their respective documentation.
Put simply, I believe that a dedicated page like this would effectively convey the information:
(building upon on Joe’s list)
- Don’t use Thing One anymore
- Use Thing Two instead
- We’re going to remove Thing One at some point in the future
- Thing One’s documentation (with a note that it (is/is going to be) deprecated in favor of Thing Two.
Additionally, deprecated stuffs can be denoted with a special marker just like how new features are denoted (see the screenshot below). Perhaps something along the lines of ‘Marked as deprecated in v0.120.0’ in a striking red color.
