Description

We still have references to obsolete/deprecated options/features in a bunch of different styles.

Use a single consistent sentence that refers to the outdated state and the value of the outdated item.

A good candidate for the options can be

{% include doc/admin-guide/options/deprecated-options.md old='fetch-delay' new='log-fetch-delay' %}

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing include at doc/admin-guide/options/deprecated-options.md and searching the documentation for obsolete or deprecated option and feature references in different styles. Update the identified references to use one consistent sentence containing the outdated state and value, with the fetch-delay/log-fetch-delay example as a candidate; done means the relevant references are consistent.
