The ContentHandler project deprecated a bunch of stuff. Many of those functions and hooks are still in active use and don't emit deprecation warnings. Given that we have another large refactoring planned (MCR), we should clean up this technical debt first.
This task should be closed once all hooks and functions deprecated by ContentHandler are emitting deprecation warnings (e.g. using wfDeprecated). That means updating at least all Wikimedia-deployed extensions.
