::: The template was introduced when the recategorization tool was not yet available, so its value is no longer present.It should also be a performance issue: direct categorization should be cheaper. That's why it should be deprecated. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 07:18, 1 March 2022 (UTC) | ::: The template was introduced when the recategorization tool was not yet available, so its value is no longer present.It should also be a performance issue: direct categorization should be cheaper.

:::: As it turned out, [[Special:ReplaceText]] seems kind of broken in this wiki, it produces SQL syntax errors. So one option would be to do it by hand (it's [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&limit=500&hideredirs=1&hidelinks=1&target=Template%3AIoT&namespace=0 this list that provides direct ''edit'' links]). We could deprecate it first and make this obvious to people who use the preview function (BTW: the access key is '''p'''). --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 19:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC) | |||
::::: The replacement is now done. @Fredg999 Would you please do the deprecation part? Thanks in advance. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:38, 1 March 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::::: The deprecation part is done. Please let me know if there is anything else we should do here. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 03:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC) | |||
::::::: Maybe this template and talk page should be deleted as well? @Fredg999 do you see anything that would argue against that? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 16:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC) |
