 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+New Deprecation Policy
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+pandas 3.0.0 introduces a new 3-stage deprecation policy: using ``DeprecationWarning`` initially, then switching to ``FutureWarning`` for broader visibility in the last minor version before the next major release, and then removal of the deprecated functionality in the major release. This was done to give downstream packages more time to adjust to pandas deprecations, which should reduce the amount of warnings that a user gets from code that isn't theirs. See `PDEP 17 <https://pandas.pydata.org/pdeps/0017-backwards-compatibility-and-deprecation-policy.html>`_ for more details.
+
+All warnings for upcoming changes in pandas will have the base class :class:`pandas.errors.PandasChangeWarning`. Users may also use the following subclasses to control warnings.
+
+- :class:`pandas.errors.Pandas4Warning`: Warnings which will be enforced in pandas 4.0.
+- :class:`pandas.errors.Pandas5Warning`: Warnings which will be enforced in pandas 5.0.
+- :class:`pandas.errors.PandasPendingDeprecationWarning`: Base class of all warnings which emit a ``PendingDeprecationWarning``, independent of the version they will be enforced.
+- :class:`pandas.errors.PandasDeprecationWarning`: Base class of all warnings which emit a ``DeprecationWarning``, independent of the version they will be enforced.
+- :class:`pandas.errors.PandasFutureWarning`: Base class of all warnings which emit a ``PandasFutureWarning``, independent of the version they will be enforced.
