I want to deprecate or disable one of my mods on the portal. It should still be available for automatic downloading when required by an existing map, but it should not be visible in the Install Mod browser.

+1, this would be a great feature to add

Bump.

I'll take this on soon.

Indeed. This is not exactly something you can manage without.

Implemented, you are now able to set your mod as deprecated and thus stop it from showing up in listings.

Can other mods still access it by linking to it directly? So does it just not show up when you search for it, or does this actualy make the mod private?

Apparently yes, no, no.

@Sanqui:

As an extention to deprecating mods it would be nice to have a "hide mods with mismatching version" (needs better phrasing) checkbox in the in-game browser (or just hide them without a checkbox?). As currently when searching one ends up with half the "results" being unavailable due to "Selected mod has no released version" (also bad phrasing btw).
