Template talk:U:de:deprecated spelling

Approximately 80% of German adults reject the Rechtschreibreform of 1996. The statement in this template that "This obsolete spelling is now never used, or only as a misspelling" is incorrect and much too strong. Words such as daß abound in modern written German and few consider it a misspelling. German Wikipedia includes lots of it. —Stephen 12:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Feel free to fix it, or to suggest what should it say instead for the 1996 case so someone else can apply the change. —Rod (A. Smith) 14:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Approximately 80% of German adults need to put their big boy pants on. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 14:22, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Improvement needed
This template needs to be improved.

The latest option is "1996" which is: "The spelling WORD was deprecated in the German spelling reform of 1996 (the Rechtschreibreform)".

After 1996 there were 3 reforms of the reform: 2004, 2006 and 2011.

And there are cases like this: The reform of 1996 created a word or a form of a word, and the reform of the reform of 2004 deprecated the newly created word or form. -IP, 13:12, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

So, when was "ß" deprecated in Swiss? -93.196.234.171 08:57, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Here: "The spelling U:de:deprecated spelling was deprecated in 1938 in Swiss German when Swiss elementary schools stopped teaching the use of the ß."
