Remove section on Persistent Variables

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 19 October 2023, 9 months ago
Updated 12 January 2024, 6 months ago

Problem/Motivation

This section is obsolete as it doesn't apply to Drupal 8 and beyond:

Persistent variables (variables/settings defined using Drupal's variable_get()/variable_set() functions) should be named using all lowercase letters, and words should be separated with an underscore. They should use the grouping/module name as a prefix, to avoid name collisions between modules.
