    :ref:`warnings filter <warning-filter>`.  The *stacklevel* argument can be used by wrapper
    functions written in Python, like this::
 
-      def deprecation(message):
+      def deprecated_api(message):
           warnings.warn(message, DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)
 
-   This makes the warning refer to :func:`deprecation`'s caller, rather than to the
-   source of :func:`deprecation` itself (since the latter would defeat the purpose
-   of the warning message).
+   This makes the warning refer to ``deprecated_api``'s caller, rather than to
+   the source of ``deprecated_api`` itself (since the latter would defeat the
+   purpose of the warning message).
+
+   The *skip_file_prefixes* keyword argument can be used to indicate which
+   stack frames are ignored when counting stack levels. This can be useful when
+   you want the warning to always appear at call sites outside of a package
+   when a constant *stacklevel* does not fit all call paths or is otherwise
+   challenging to maintain. If supplied, it must be a tuple of strings. When
+   prefixes are supplied, stacklevel is implicitly overridden to be ``max(2,
+   stacklevel)``. To cause a warning to be attributed to the caller from
+   outside of the current package you might write::
+
+      # example/lower.py
+      _warn_skips = (os.path.dirname(__file__),)
+
+      def one_way(r_luxury_yacht=None, t_wobbler_mangrove=None):
+          if r_luxury_yacht:
+              warnings.warn("Please migrate to t_wobbler_mangrove=.",
+                            skip_file_prefixes=_warn_skips)
+
+      # example/higher.py
+      from . import lower
+
+      def another_way(**kw):
+          lower.one_way(**kw)
+
+   This makes the warning refer to both the ``example.lower.one_way()`` and
+   ``package.higher.another_way()`` call sites only from calling code living
+   outside of ``example`` package.
 
    *source*, if supplied, is the destroyed object which emitted a
    :exc:`ResourceWarning`.
 
    .. versionchanged:: 3.6
