[[Category:Definitions]]
[[Category:Definitions]]Deprecated files are those files that for several reasons listed below is normally of no interest to user. Those files will be listed with dark grey background on "Show Anime" page and can be completely hidden by setting "Hide deprecated files on anime page" option in your [[profile]].
Occasionally a group will release an updated version of the same episode. This usually happens to fix an error in encoding or translation, but can also be done to standardise the encoding of earlier episodes in a series with that of later ones, to add missing material, or to replace a poor-quality source when a higher-quality source becomes available.
When such a file (known on AniDB as a v2, v3, etc.) is released, the files it replaces are marked as 'deprecated'. While there may not necessarily be anything wrong with them, there exists a better version. If there is something wrong with the encoding of the file, its quality will be set to 'corrupted'.

===Criteria for marking file deprecated===
 
File will be marked deprecated if it meets any of the following criteria:
* the episode have 50 or more users and the file has 3 or less and is not marked as [[Files:CRC-verified files|file with verified CRC]].
* the file is marked as file with invalid CRC.
* the [[How to add/remove: Files#File Quality|quality of the file]] is set to low or worse.
* another file by the same [[group]] and with the same [[File version|version]] exists and is marked as [[Files:CRC-verified files|file with verified CRC]], while this file is not (this more or less implies that this file has a invalid CRC after all).
* another file by the same [[group]] and with a newer [[File version|version]] exists and is marked as [[Files:CRC-verified files|file with verified CRC]].
 
 
===Exception===
 
There is one exception:
* files which are 48 or less hours old will not be marked deprecated.
 
 
===Deprecated files that will not be hidden===
