reviewing obsoleted parts - Peter Blomberg - 2025-09-20
Can anyone point me to the specifications/rules for obsoleted parts? (It might be easy pickings to get off the tracker...)

Geometry the same as the official part.
No automated errors
A replacement exists
But really you should review the replacement at the same time.

If I have understood correctly, an obsoleted part should have the explicit obsolete category, "(obsolete)" at the end of the description, and a "~" at the start of the description. However, I haven't been able to verify these in the docs.
