+# ⚠️ Attention: Deprecation of Mask ⚠️
+
+Since TYPO3 v13 the Mask extension is deprecated. This extension will only receive bugfixes until regular maintenance for TYPO3 v13 has ended (30 April 2026).
+There are no official plans to make this extension work with the upcoming TYPO3 v14 version (Please reach out to us, if you want to make it compatible).
+We highly recommend to [migrate to TYPO3 Content Blocks](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/friendsoftypo3-content-blocks:migrations-mask).
+At the time of writing Content Blocks has no GUI, but there is a plan to build one.
