# Breaking: #97201 - Removed hook for new content element wizard {#breaking-97201}

See [forge#97201](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/97201)

## Description {#description}

The hook `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms']['db_new_content_el']['wizardItemsHook']`
has been removed in favor of a new PSR-14 event `\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\Event\ModifyNewContentElementWizardItemsEvent`.

Additionally, the `params` property of a wizard item has been
removed, since it just duplicated the default values, configured with
`tt_content_defValues` and therefore previously required extension
authors to provide the same information twice in two different formats.

> [!NOTE]
> The public methods `getPageInfo()`, `getColPos()`,
> `getSysLanguage()` and `getUidPid()` have been removed
> from the internal `NewContentElementController` class, since
> they were only added for the use in the now removed hook. This
> information is now directly available in the new PSR-14 event.

## Impact {#impact}

Any hook implementation registered is not executed anymore
in TYPO3 v12.0+.

The `params` property on a wizard item is no longer evaluated.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions using this hook.

TYPO3 installations setting the `params` property on a wizard item.

## Migration {#migration}

The hook is removed without deprecation in order to allow extensions
to work with TYPO3 v11 (using the hook) and v12+ (using the new event).

Use the [PSR-14 event](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:feature-97201)
to allow greater influence in the functionality.

Migrate the `params` property to `tt_content_defValues` or just
remove `params` in case the information had already been configured
for both properties.
