# DeprecatedTag

Discourages using [deprecated tags](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/tags/theme-tags) in themes. Deprecated tags have their own unique implementation within this check. For example the `include` tag is deprecated but is still used in themes. This check looks for the `include` tag and provides a message that it's deprecated.
