More ranting:
proper deprecated-message should look like this:
"foo is deprecated. Please use bar instead (see http://awesomedocs.net/how-to-use-bar.htm)"
It would be cool if mw devs who keep deprecating things would consider this.
Thanks

Before someone come with something like: if documentation is wrong, fix it
I don't know what the correct way is, because I am following the documentation which is wrong, so until someone who knows how to do this right fix it, I won't know that either.

Hello,
I am receiving lot of these warnings:
WARNING: API query (revisions): The rvtoken parameter has been deprecated.
According to current documentation for mediawiki at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Rollback which I follow, in order to get a rvtoken I should use this query:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvtok...
however that very query returns this warning. Is this a bug in documentation? Why do you first deprecate things and then, ages later, update the docs? Shouldn't it be the other way? Mediawiki has worst backward compatibility support I have ever seen and this is one of the reasons for it.
Thanks
