@@ -218,6 +218,7 @@ Removal of prior version deprecations/changes
 - Enforced deprecation of :meth:`Series.interpolate` and :meth:`DataFrame.interpolate` for object-dtype (:issue:`57820`)
 - Enforced deprecation of :meth:`offsets.Tick.delta`, use ``pd.Timedelta(obj)`` instead (:issue:`55498`)
 - Enforced deprecation of ``axis=None`` acting the same as ``axis=0`` in the DataFrame reductions ``sum``, ``prod``, ``std``, ``var``, and ``sem``, passing ``axis=None`` will now reduce over both axes; this is particularly the case when doing e.g. ``numpy.sum(df)`` (:issue:`21597`)
+- Enforced deprecation of non-standard (``np.ndarray``, :class:`ExtensionArray`, :class:`Index`, or :class:`Series`) argument to :func:`api.extensions.take` (:issue:`52981`)
 - Enforced deprecation of parsing system timezone strings to ``tzlocal``, which depended on system timezone, pass the 'tz' keyword instead (:issue:`50791`)
 - Enforced deprecation of passing a dictionary to :meth:`SeriesGroupBy.agg` (:issue:`52268`)
 - Enforced deprecation of string ``AS`` denoting frequency in :class:`YearBegin` and strings ``AS-DEC``, ``AS-JAN``, etc. denoting annual frequencies with various fiscal year starts (:issue:`57793`)
