Can someone explain what the actual meaning of deprecated is?
I see deprecated all over the place on the wiki API class section. I always thought that it meant it was deleted, but now I see that all my scripts with :connect work still even though that was deprecated. So what does deprecated actually mean?

Good question! I have the answer for you.
Basically “deprecated” means “Do not use”. You will probably see on the Wiki that are a lot of things are deprecated. Usually, that item, etc... usually exists but it’s not encouraged to use it. A lot of the time deprecated items are removed in the next update or in a future one.
I hope that’s answered your question. If you come across anything deprecated do NOT use it because there’s probably an alternative. If not then just use it but you’ll have to find a replacement for it soon!
