Could this be split into subtasks with documentation how to find instances and turned into Google-Code-in-2018 tasks, maybe?

Perhaps a separate task for "hard deprecate stuff which has been soft deprecated for a while"?

WikiPage – Calling ::prepareContentForEdit with a revisionid rather than a Revision object

I note the whole method is deprecated in 1.32. Although the replacement IMO should itself be deprecated in 1.33. Yay MCR?

EditPage::submit()

FYI, EditPage should be getting an overhaul soon for MCR stuff. Not sure to what extent that might change its public-facing interface.

Article::doEditContent() – T155696

I note the replacement, WikiPage::doEditContent(), is itself deprecated in 1.32. Although the replacement for WikiPage::doEditContent() IMO should itself be deprecated in 1.33. Yay MCR?

It'd be a bit premature at this point; I made this task as a talking point to get agreement on what we should kill off. Maybe in a week's time we can pick which ones we're actually going to want to do and create those tasks, tagged as GCI?

"$wgLBFactoryConf support for values with underscores (LBFactory_Simple/LBFactory_Single/LBFactory_Multi)" - classes were removed in 1.23.. Nothing to do here?
