[galaxy-dev] deprecated 'page' tag in tool xml - more than deprecated?

Dear All

As part of our move to upgrade from v. 16.04 to 17.01, I have noticed that the 'page' tag in the tool xml file doesn't work anymore.

I know, the 'page' tag has been deprecated for a while, however, we have many old but important tools where the 'page' tag is in use.

Has the functionality been removed intentionally? Though, I cant find any comments in the release notes for 16.07,16.10, and 17,01.

Or is there a trick to re-enable it?

Thank you very much for your help Hans-Rudolf
