Remove deprecated using schema.* syntax from WikimediaEvents
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Code search tells me there are uses of something like `using( 'schema.*' ) in:

  • modules/all/ext.wikimediaEvents.searchSatisfaction.js#550
  • modules/all/ext.wikimediaEvents.searchSatisfaction.js#879

I'm going to change this to just not use the modules.

Event Timeline

@Milimetric Remember that while mw.track is encouraged overall (async, dependency-free, allows soft integration with EL), the mw.eventLog interface is not deprecated or discouraged in any way and can sometimes be preferred in specific use cases, especially for existing code that (for better or worse) is written to work with that kind of interface. Also if the code has tightly coupled unit tests, that might safe you a lot of work.

If you want a simpler, lower-risk, change instead, you could only swap schema.* for ext.eventLogging and keep the rest as-is. If it already specifies ext.eventLogging in the array, removing schema.* is trivial. If it only specifies, schema.*, specify ext.eventLogging instead.

It could then be an (optional) migration task for later consideration by the maintainers to adopt mw.track if the relative benefits apply to them.

Hope that helps!
