- Description
Currently, there are four preference filters available in the Control Panel interfaces: "Basic", "Advanced", "Experimental" and "Unavailable".
As a user new to Tiki, I have on several occasions noted features that looked interesting, but which I have not enabled as I have subsequently found it is planned to deprecate them. In some cases this was obvious (e.g. a 'warning' icon with the deprecation message on hover next to the feature checkbox), in others it wasn't (i.e. I only found out about it from doc.t.o or related places).
On the assumption that it will help with planned deprecations if new installations don't enable and start using deprecated features, I would propose that a "Deprecated" preference filter be added, that relevant controls be assigned to it, and that it be disabled by default in new installations.
I understand the criteria for such might be controversial (indeed, I hope I'm not reigniting a heated discussion by posting this!) and so would understand if this is WONTFIXED. I also recognise that it is less appropriate for a new user to suggest criteria here than for those that have had Tiki installations for some time and/or are directly involved in development, which is why I haven't listed any in this initial report.
