Yes it's confusing. The other discussion on the design list, in
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/design/2015-February/002246.html is
helpful.
My goal at the moment is to get these two pages
updated:
*
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/Living_style_guide
this now mentions both.
I also edited
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOjs_UI to mention the
MediaWiki theme in 1.25, and
https://living-style-guide.wmflabs (Andrew,
Prateek, Trevor, it's your call when to remove the "early draft" caveats.)
The reality is some forms in core, 16 extensions, and an unknown number of
on-wiki gadgets use the mediawiki.ui* modules, so IMO we shouldn't
eliminate a fine generated demonstration of how it works. But we should be
clear that going forward, using OOjs UI will be the way to UX consistency.
(I'm still unclear about the timing of "going forward" and
"will".)
Every instance of the living style guide's documentation should include
links to the living style guide and its source code,
in my opinion.
I'm not sure what you mean, but that sounds right.
More to do:
* revamping
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_UI , I've made a few
edits already
* mention OOjs UI in the mediawiki.ui LSG (gerrit patch to
resources/src/mediawiki.ui welcome)
Thanks for caring!
