+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::PG::ProhibitDeprecatedWeightedGrader - The L<weightedGrader.pl> functionality
+is now included in the default grader, and this macro is no longer needed.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The L<weightedGrader.pl> is now the default grader, and use of this macro should be removed.
+Remove calling the function C<install_weighted_grader>. Instead of calling C<WEIGHTED_ANS> or
+C<NAMED_WEIGHTED_ANS>, pass C<< weight => n >> to the C<cmp> method. In PGML use the following:
+
+    [_]{$answer}{ cmp_options => { weight => n } }
+
+Instead of calling C<CREDIT_ANS> pass C<< credit => $answer1 >> or C<< credit => [$answer1, $answer2, ...] >>
+to the C<cmp> method.
