Per phab:T237267, using "source" instead of "syntaxhighlight" is being deprecated and will be removed. This is a cosmetic edit in that the output shouldn't change, but is needed because it will have a result in the end (source tags will eventually be removed, and if not replaced ahead of time won't work). Next week the patch that adds tracking categories for the uses will go live, and it should be clearer what the scope is in terms of number of edits. I will make the demo edits once the tracking categories are available next week, but I wanted to open this for discussion now. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 19:56, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a nobrainer, so speedy approved. --Krd 04:44, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
