Now that the new button styles and classes are headed for core (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/103494/), we should decide on a rollout strategy for using the classes. Basically one of:
- All at once (do https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/52169)
- Continue piece by piece (e.g.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58296, wpSave, wpPreview, and wpDiff, which Tony Thomas just took).
I'm inclined to #1, for horizontal consistency.
I don't know what "horizontal consistency" means.
It basically means the same components on different pages look the same, on the same wiki, at the same time. As a hypothetical example, suppose all text input boxes on all pages glow (regardless of whether other aspects of the new design are there).
Haven't there already been colored UI buttons in the wild for months now?
Yes, but there are still a huge number of buttons (including important ones like save/preview/show changes) that don't. That does mean it's not horizontally consistent in that regard.
Hence, the question.
