To editor Redrose64: there are several html sites that tell us that the <s> tag is deprecated in HTML5, such as here and at https://www.tutorialspoint.com/html/html_deprecated_tags.htm (blacklisted). It appears to be an accessibility issue. Still usable, probably because of its wide usage; however, it does no harm to update these things now before they start producing errors and eventually stop working at all. If agreeable, I can go ahead and update the documentation. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 23:06, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
The s
element represents contents that are no longer accurate or no longer relevant.
and there is no mention of deprecation.<s>...</s>
to indicate deletion of content, for which the <del>...</del>
tag ahould be used. This is not at all the same as deprecation, since the implication is that in circumstances other than the indication of deleted content, <s>...</s>
may still be permissible.s
element was indeed
deprecated in HTML 4, and whereas a lot of elements deprecated in HTML 4 (such as <strike>...</strike>
) were marked as obsolete in HTML5, <s>...</s>
is not among them. Indeed, the recommendation is to
use <s>...</s>
instead of <strike>...</strike>
in certain circumstances - they wouldn't do that with a deprecated tag. Wikipedia serves HTML5. --

A question actually: should the opening line of the lead;
"{{Strikethrough}} draws a line through the text that is its parameter."
actually read as;
"{{Strikethrough}} draws a line through the text that is within its parameter."...?
