Tchanders mentioned this in T395365: Modernise and unify UI for Special:UserRights and Special:GlobalUserRights.May 27 2025, 6:09 PM

I think it makes sense to complete this work, since we will be working on T405575: Share logic between Special:UserRights and Special:GlobalGroupMembership.

@Tchanders should this be a "convert to Codex" task instead of "convert to OOUI"?

Tchanders moved this task from Ready to Priority backlog on the Product Safety and Integrity (Sprint Apfel Strudel (Sep 29 - Oct 17)) board.Sep 30 2025, 9:49 AM

Having spoken with @Catrope, let's use this task to convert the special page(s) to HTMLForm (OOUI mode), then when Codex mode is ready, it should just be a case of switching modes.
