Yeah, we are already using this concept with new

actions are emphasized (eg. full color). Secondary actions are not (eg.

Good to hear. This makes sense to me. The combo of red and green definitely
reminded me of the "Skittles" problem (as S Page coined it) we've
encountered occasionally in using mediawiki.ui, where it might seem like
the urge is to use constructive/progressive/destructive buttons
side-by-side.
The living style guide has been good in that it allows us to adapt this as
we go. But at some point we're going to need more in the way of on-wiki
docs I think, particularly when it comes to suggesting design principles,
like don't put multiple progressive/constructive/destructive items in the
same screen of a workflow.
