As ''Crawl'' is an actively developed game, features are being added and removed all the time. When a feature is largely no longer present in-game, it can be said to be '''obsolete'''. It should be noted, however, that a feature which is 'obsolete' may not be entirely removed from the game. The term can apply to a variety of conditions. Some examples are given below:

==Removed entirely==

These are features that have been entirely purged from the code, and are not present in any way, shape, or form. The obsolete spell [[Alter Self]] falls into this category. Most removed items will as well, as they are relatively simple to remove entirely.

==Vestigially present==

This category describes features which are removed and not present in-game, but for which some code remains. There are a variety of reasons that this may be the case. In some cases, most notably with the removal of [[species]], the developers will choose to wait until the next major version to entirely remove the race, so as not to break compatibility with old saves until absolutely necessary. In other cases, the persistence of code for a feature may simply be due to developer oversight or choice. An example of this would be the fact that the [[Extension]] spell is, as of [[0.13]], [http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=blob;f=crawl-ref/source/rltiles/dc-spells.txt;h=6b59009fed1021c4808c0c2021ee3ad97aea6402;hb=5ded1f09efd3d001bc8413c1af4db7839d552309#l61 still referenced] in the file governing spell tiles, despite having been removed since [[0.8]].

==Largely removed==

This describes features that are mostly gone, but still present in some very reduced form. A good example of this would be the spell [[Orb of Electrocution]]. As a player-castable spell it was removed in [[0.1]], but it still remains as a potential effect of the [[Spark card]] or [[Makhleb]]'s Greater Destruction.

==No longer available to the player==

This is actually a fairly large category, mostly with spells. Many monster spells, such as [[Teleport Self]], [[Paralyse]], [[Banishment]], and even self-healing spells, were once player spells. They are obsolete in the sense that the player can no longer use them as spells, but they are by no means gone from the game, and their effects may even still be available to the player through non-spellcasting means.
