 ======Overview changed variable names ======
-Occasionally, [[sections|variable names]] have been changed in the Lifelines database, for example if the original name was deemed confusing, too informal, unexpected, inconsistent, or incorrect. In some cases we stopped releasing a variable, because it was replaced with a better version (this can happen with 'secondary variables' such as derivates/sum scores etc.)
+Occasionally, [[sections|variable names]] have been changed in the Lifelines database, for example if the original variable name was deemed confusing, too informal, unexpected, inconsistent, or incorrect. In some cases we stopped releasing a variable and changed its name to include the term _deprecated.
 Original names may still be present in older data issues, but can no longer be found in the data catalogue.
-A list of all original variable names that have been changed (sometimes twice) over time can be found in the table below.
+To check if a variable has received a new name (perhaps twice), the table below can be used.
