# Deprecation: #86338 - Change visibility of PageRepository->init

See [forge#86338](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/86338)

## Description

The method `TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Page\PageRepository::init()` is now called implicitly within the constructor.

## Impact

Calling the method will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 installation with extensions directly calling `TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Page\PageRepository::init()`.

## Migration

Remove the method call. The constructor is taking care of calling the method.
