I think it’s better if we rename the page to obsolete usage. In my opinion, it reflects the page better and explicitly states that it’s not used anymore. Perhaps we can even rename it to obsolete early usage? Enky (talk) 13:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

The similar page Archaic words also exists. Presumably the two should have a similar name: Archaic usage and archaic words? Obsolete usage and obsolete words? Deprecated? JPeton (talk) 15:57, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

I agree. In my opinion “Archaic usage” is even better than what I originally suggested. Enky (talk) 17:24, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Technically, "archaic" means that it's still used, but to evoke an old-fashioned effect. Not exactly sure where the line would be between "out of fashion" and "archaic" and "obsolete" (no longer understood) in Toki Pona. Menasewi (talk) 19:41, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
