This rule does not flag parameters that are named with the [discard](../../../csharp/discards.md) symbol, for example, `_`, `_1`, and `_2`. This reduces warning noise on parameters that are needed for signature requirements, for example, a method used as a delegate, a parameter with special attributes, or a parameter whose value is implicitly accessed at run time by a framework but is not referenced in code.

> [!NOTE]
> This rule has been deprecated in favor of [IDE0060](../style-rules/ide0060.md). You can enforce this analyzer by following [this guide](../overview.md#code-style-analysis).

  • Do we need a parallel PR to MicrosoftDocs/visualstudio-docs page?
  • The linked page says deprecated rules for FxCop, which was deleted recently, so the change only affects NetAnalyzers package. Do the linked page needs to be updated regarding this?

I'd just suggest leaving this part out for now (for more info, see deprecated rules).

Also, those deprecated rules refer to FxCop rules that were never ported as an analyzer. CA1801 was ported, so I don't think it belongs in that list.


## Rule description

Review parameters in non-virtual methods that are not used in the method body to make sure no incorrectness exists around failure to access them. Unused parameters incur maintenance and performance costs.
