# Deprecation: #85408 - TemplateService init() deprecated

See [forge#85408](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/85408)

## Description

Method `TYPO3\CMS\Core\TypoScript\TemplateService->init()` has been marked as deprecated
and should not be used any longer.

## Impact

Calling above method triggers a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

## Affected Installations

Instances with extensions calling the above method. However, the extension scanner
is not configured to find this too generic method name.

## Migration

The business code of the method is done within `__construct()`, an explicit call
to `init()` is no longer needed and can be removed.
