Some wiki have a feature to deprecate pages and sections, for example by using templates. Is there anything similar in Trac, or how could I achieve the same effect (marking a page as obsolete without deleting it)?

What are the features of a deprecated page? Hidden from title index? Not shown in search results?

The page/section is shown displayed with a strikethrough and there is a (customizable) message that explain why the page is deprecated. Example:

There are currently no plugins that implement the feature as far as I know, but it would be fairly straightforward to implement. On trac-hacks.org we use a WikiExtras box macro and tag the page as deprecated. Example:
