There is a discussion going on loading indicators on Phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75972. Basically there are two kinds of indicators, indeterminate and determinate. Here is a documentation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Interface/Use_cases/Loading_Indicators of what we have currently.
Do you know any other loading indicators out there? Any other kinds of use cases or purposes where loading indicators are used and needed?
Discuss at Phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75972 or on this mailing list. And if you find more loading indicators, let us know here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Interface.
Thank ya, mm
Hey May,
- There's a determinant progress bar in MediaViewer while the image is loading[1] I will add it on the MediaWiki page.
- There are two progress indicators in OO-JS-UI here https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/#widgets-mediawiki-mixed-ltr Scroll down to "progress" section. I am not sure where they are used, but they do exist. The first one is used in VE (with progressive tint) if i am not wrong.
- On Mobile web, we use iOS style activity indicator (indeterminate). It's part of MW-UI [2] and used in various places. You can see it on Mobile VE loading right now.

Translate is using spinning style indeterminate indicator [1]. LQT is also using spinning style indeterminate (mw-ajax-loader from core).

UploadWizard uses https://commons.wikimedia.org/static/1.27.0-wmf.8/extensions/UploadWizard/re... . It used to have a determinate indicator too, not sure if that was permanently removed as part of the rewrite or just not reworked yet.

We use a OOjs UI ProgressBar for the determinate indicator of file upload progress.
Awesome, I've added these to where I'm documenting https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Interface/Use_cases/Loading_Indicators them.
I also want to point out the work that User:Splarka https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Splarka did in analyzing how loading indicators work in different backgrounds here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Splarka/Throbber. Thanks legoktm for sharing.
Keep them coming!
