This is a list of pages that have been categorized as "Portuguese obsolete forms" even though they were only abolished in either 1911, 1943 or 1971. This makes them dated or archaic at worst; definitely not obsolete.

Some words listed here might be false positives however and might actually be genuinely obsolete (the kind of stuff you'd only see on really, really, really old letters). There are a couple ways of telling who's who.

If it looks just like a modern word with a ^ on its second-to-last syllable, like "êle" or "sôbre", it's a dated term that was only abolished in Brazil in 1971. You can actually still find it being used uncommonly nowadays (I can count from the top of my head 3 places near my house that write "gelo" as "gêlo".)
If it's got an erudite combination like "rh", "ph" or a doubled consonant and the combination matches Latin etymologically, it's most likely a spelling that was abolished in 1911 (Portugal)/1943 (Brazil). That makes it archaic at least; definitely not obsolete.
- The same applies for words ending in "-ez" that nowadays would have an "-ês" ending.
If it has a seemingly random letter such as an "Y" with 0 etymological basis, chances are it's a medieval form and is correctly marked as obsolete.

I've started fixing up the categories already, but it's seriously too much work for one single guy doing it all manually... I'm going about it in alphabetical order by the way! Words at the top of this list are more likely to not have been looked at yet.
