Until we get a definite yes or no on whether talk pages should be used to track the status of the schemas, I've made the following changes:
I've also submitted a patch to update the list of registered schemas to reflect the list of active schemas [0].

Note that the MobileWeb prefix search doesn't include a couple of the schemas that we're still using: the MobileOptionsTracking and MobileBetaWatchlist schemas.

Then someone should have updated its talk page. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema_talk:MobileWebClickTracking
See e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema_talk:EchoPrefUpdate

Back in 2013 the talk pages for schemas was where we kept track of their use. (Dario, is this still the case?) It's not ideal but the alternative is looking at the git logs of operations/mediawiki-config and the extension to figure out when things were disabled or decommissioned.

I did it this time, but I think engineers should update the talk page when they stop using a schema, unless there's a better approach.
 
It got split into main-menu-daily, page-ui-daily and various other schemas.

I think you mean MobileWebMainMenuClickTracking and MobileWebUIClickTracking. I pasted baho's "break up MobileWebClickTracking" commit message into the talk page.

FWIW https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Schema:MobileWeb lists 18 schemas, the EventLoggingRegisterSchemas hook[1] registers 9 schemas, and the active schemas category [2] only has four MobileWeb schemas.
