For example, update the tutorial Gadget kitchen and its file Tutorial-QuickRC.js. There may be other tutorials and guides to using jQuery or ad hoc UX elements.
Then encourage the conversion of gadgets and common.js hacks to use OOUI.

We have this as a quick guide: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Using_OOjs_UI_in_MediaWiki#Gadgets
And more extensive documentation about particular widgets: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOjs_UI
Is this helpful?

Well, I'm not sure how I can help then. That has both documentation and examples. Can you clarify what you're looking for? Any examples of other libraries having the kind of documentation you'd like to see for OOjs UI?

Well, most gadgets on Wikidata use modal dialogs and forms. But when I take a look at the documentation, a lot of code is needed for the most simple stuff. Some working examples, in MediaWiki, would be great.

Going to decline this. Gadgets now have access to Vue and Codex, and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI describes OOUI as somewhere in the realm of deprecated for new code (i.e. new gadgets). T313945 exists for further support of Vue/Codex in gadgets (note that some comments there indicate current support is fine enough).
