# Deprecation: #97201 - Unused Interface for new content element wizard hook {#deprecation-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']`
required hook implementations to implement `\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Wizard\NewContentElementWizardHookInterface`.

Since the mentioned hook has been [removed](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:breaking-97201),
the interface is not in use anymore and has been marked as deprecated.

## Impact {#impact}

Using the interface has no effect anymore and the extension scanner will
report any usage.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations using the PHP interface in custom extension code.

## Migration {#migration}

The PHP interface is still available for TYPO3 v12.x, so extensions can
provide a version which is compatible with TYPO3 v11 (using the hook)
and TYPO3 v12.x (using the new [PSR-14 event](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:feature-97201)),
at the same time.

Remove any usage of the PHP interface and use the new PSR-14
event to avoid any further problems in TYPO3 v13+.
