Thread:Support/"Deprecated" in Flagged Revisions/reply (3)

The Free Dictionary of the term in question states:

dep·re·cate (dpr-kt) tr.v. de·pre·cat·ed, de·pre·cat·ing, de·pre·cates 1. To express disapproval of; deplore. 2. To belittle; depreciate. 3. Computer Science To mark (a component of a software standard) as obsolete to warn against its use in the future so that it may be phased out.

Since it's safe to say that we are in the IT business, it's quite natural to assume that number 3 would be appropriate. The examples you have provided, however, (which happen to be in Turkish, my native tongue) refer to page revisions with the use of this term and include certain uses such as "This page lists the most recent approvals and deprecations of revisions".

I believe in that case it's quite clear that we have to go with the first meaning here. The term refers to "disapproval".
