[mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend@master] Revert "Generalise a CSS rule for paragraphs within panels"

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/529472

Why is .summary-request a p tag when it is styled more like a heading? Can we not just change the tag for an h2? If the license padding if not necessary or useful we should probably not use the panel class here and use editor-panel or editor-overlay-panel instead. It doesn't seem useful to share styles with unrelated things such as talk overlay, language overlay, beta opt in panel, category overlay and AbuseFilterPanel.

[mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend@master] Editor save panel elements should not be paragraphs

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/531324

In both this and T217102, it looks like the desired behaviour is to have a panel with fixed padding all the way around, in which case it makes more sense to apply the padding to the whole panel, rather than each individual paragraph, regardless of if we use h2/p/div for the individual content items.

Indeed in the example given in T217102 (the talk page add-topic form), the whole panel would have padding of 12px, were it not for the fact it overridden by the rule .add-topic-form .panel { padding: 0; }. This leads me to believe that that is a special case where the padding is being moved from the containing panel to the inner elements (so that the edge-to-edge horizontal borders can be drawn), in which case the .panel > p rule should only to this particular form.

Here is the form in question:

The alignment form is a result of some inconsistently targeted selectors:

• The three panels have no padding due to a rule targeted at .add-topic-form .panel (as mentioned aboved)
• The license field gets a padding of 1em from .panel > p
• The subject and message fields get a padding of 16px 1em from a .panel input, .panel textarea rule (note no child selector)
• The borders of both fields are removed by a rules specific to this form: .add-topic-form .panel input/textarea:only-child

This should probably be cleaned up.

It appears from both naming and usage that .panel is supposed to be a generic container with padding. I don't think it makes sense to generically give paragraphs extra horizontal padding within them.

[mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend@master] Simplify panel styles

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/531522

So we have three patches here:

1. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend/+/529472 Revert "Generalise a CSS rule for paragraphs within panels"
   • Supposedly fixes the issue, but it doesn't rebase cleanly, and apparently the patch being reverted is so old that it doesn't work anymore with current MediaWiki.
2. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend/+/531324 Editor save panel elements should not be paragraphs
   • Indeed fixes the issue.
3. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend/+/531522 Simplify panel styles
   • This is a superset of patch #2 that also makes tons of other changes.

I am not really comfortable merging all of the changes from #3, so I'm going to restore #2 and merge it. This shouldn't cause any problems for anyone and we'll be able to close this task faster.

WFM. We can open a new task for cleaning up the Panel code.
