At the moment it looks like the add topic button is clickable even when you are in the act of writing a new topic. The button should appear disabled so that it discourages editors from attempting to click on it.

It's not covered by that task. I just had a look, and there seems to be no way to actually mark it as disabled…

To elaborate: the only way to make a mw-ui-button look disabled is to set the disabled attribute, but that only works on <button> and not <a>. In addition, even if we hacked around that, there's no way to make the icon color/transparency adjust to the disabled state. I'm not very comfortable hacking around this many things, and also not comfortable inventing a new "proper" way to do it for a twice-deprecated legacy UI library.

@Esanders came up with a marvellous hack for this, which doesn't require us to reinvent the world and which seems unlikely to break anything else. Let's try that.
