 -   Added new parameter `Ratio of lithium moles to SEI moles` (short name z_sei) to fix a bug where this number was incorrectly hardcoded to 1. ([#2222](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/2222))
 -   Changed short name of parameter `Inner SEI reaction proportion` from alpha_SEI to inner_sei_proportion, to avoid confusion with transfer coefficients. ([#2222](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/2222))
+-   Deleted legacy parameters with short names beta_sei and beta_plating. ([#2222](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/2222))
 -   Corrected initial SEI thickness for OKane2022 parameter set. ([#2218](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/2218))
