It looks like during the reformatting between [[https://en.cppreference.com/mwiki/index.php?title=cpp%2Flanguage%2Fattributes%2Fdeprecated&diff=104484&oldid=104386 104386 and 104484]], there was a typo introduced in where the {{c|[[deprecated]]}} attribute can appear. According to the standard, {{c|[[deprecated]]}} cannot appear in the declaration of a static data member.

Should this be corrected?

: A static data member is a variable, and thus can have this attribute.
: The standard says "a variable or a non-static data member" which is a bit misleading, but it actually does include static data members. --[[User:D41D8CD98F|D41D8CD98F]] ([[User talk:D41D8CD98F|talk]]) 00:19, 13 January 2024 (PST)

Thanks! The only reason I mention this is because there is a paper making its way through the committee that disagrees with that interpretation: [[https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p2552r3.pdf P2552]]. I have emailed the author about the discrepancy.

In addition, I 100% agree that "variable" generally includes static data members, but the standard does not always use it consistently that way. For instance, in [[https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.init.list#note-1 list initialization]] it says that a variable can be list initialized but that clearly does not hold for static data members.

Update: Sorry! I will continue to think out loud here. In the previous example I specified, I see that they used the word "definition" and that is in distinction to declaration which resolves the conflict that I was seeing in an example such as https://godbolt.org/z/EMscssY6T.

I guess my overall question is, "If the authors meant it to apply to declarations of both static and non-static data members, why did they specifically add non-static data member to the list? Variable seems like it would have sufficed."

Thank you for the disambiguating edit, [[User:Space_Mission]]!
