The relevant documentation claims that this function is deprecated. Why is that? It's a nice way to specify multiple step objects in an array at once without having to gt.step for each one

User:Mattflaschen might know, given that he deprecated it in commit fc9de92a6ae6f820bff34c1b56f60731d423f0be back in July 2014, though he might not be around anymore since he no longer works at the WMF. The commit message also mentions phab:T50507 and phab:T55143.
In any case, the method's been "deprecated" for over 9 years now, so I for one would be more than happy to +2 a patch un-deprecating it.
Huh, thanks. If it gets undeprecated, support for the "back" action should also be added.
It appears Mattflaschen never edited beyond 2019-12-03 on any wiki, should I just open a phab task for now?
WORKSFORME. :-)
It's not unusual for ex-staff to simply "vanish" from (WMF) wikis after their contract with the Foundation is up. That said, software is written by people and no person is perfect, so maybe what made sense 9 year ago perhaps isn't the best of ideas by today's standards. IMO that it hasn't been removed from the code in over 9 years and that there'd be a valid use case is already more than enough of a sufficient reason for removing that pointless @deprecated tag from it, but I don't maintain this codebase nor have the final say over such matters.
