I'm committed to killing the global variable $wgUseMediaWikiUIEverywhere
Prateek asked me today how he could help so in case it is not clear
this is how developers/designers can help.
Essentially as a first step we need to identify problems with form
interfaces across MediaWiki and fix them.
1) Enable MediaWiki UI everywhere
Developers: Add $wgUseMediaWikiUIEverywhere=true into your LocalSettings
Non-developers: Explore
http://mwui.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page or
http://en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ (the mobile site already
enables these to be the default)
2) Navigate around the site and make a note of interfaces that look wrong.
Please file bugs against them here [1]
* Places where buttons are constructive when they should be
destructive / progress
* Take screenshots of interfaces that look cluttered/cramped.
* Identify pages which do not use MediaWiki UI styles at all
3) Let's fix the bugs
4) When this is all done, we will need to engage the
community/communicate this change. We might need to run a beta
feature. I'm hoping Jared or Steven can oversee this. Alternatively we
might just want to turn it on if we do not consider it a massive
change.
