Is this category really necessary? Whether or not content is "current" or "obsolete" can be (and currently '''is''') determined based on its namespace, so I don't see why we need a separate category that serves no purpose other than to contain every article not related to the current version... --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:41, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

A lot of articles are about something that's not obsolete but contain obsolete content anyway--based on how bars/blocks/stone used to be, for example, or even based on preconceptions held over from before version 40a. Could that be what this is for? --[[User:Namaphry|Namaphry]] 21:18, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

:Strictly speaking, articles in the v0.31/40d/23a namespace are only "obsolete" if you're playing the latest version - if you're playing 40d, then 40d articles aren't obsolete (and the v0.34 articles wouldn't be "current" either). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 22:11, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
