Description

Current search reveals usage of 'mediawiki.ui.icon' module in

Phase 1

  • ULS
  • MMV
  • Popups
  • Minerva and MobileFrontend
  • Mark module as deprecated

Phase 2 - all usages

  • ContentTranslation (covered in T340259)
  • On April 29th we (Bartosz, Jon Robson) removed support for the unused mw-ui-icon-small and mw-ui-icon-flush-top and mw-ui-icon-flush-left to avoid further adoption.

Phase 3

  • Remove outdated class .mw-ui-icon-with-label-desktop only in use begin of Vector 2022 development – to reduce mental load when removing module and save some bytes in the meantime for remaining use cases
  • Flow/includes/View.php <doing>
  • Example skin - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/Example/+/922957
  • Remove 'mediawiki.ui.icon' module

All of above usages should be removed and replaced by Codex (/OOUI) icon modules. And the module itself be removed as result.

This work is tackled alongside

Jdlrobson added a subtask: T159738: Limit default styles loaded by OOUI (65kb after gzipping penalty to run a QuickSurveys) by droping use of oojs-ui-widgets .

I'm not sure what the practical replacement would be. Ideally they'd be a mixin exposed by wikimedia UI for these cases. We are not going to be able to ship an entire OOjs UI stylesheet just to render a single icon in Popups, which loads on all pages, are we?

Unless you have an exact solution in mind for how to use OOUI in Popups, I think is stalled on T159738.
Personally I think this is not a top priority right now.

I don't think the Flow case is worth tackling given it's planned undeploy, T350164. Unless that is blocking the removal of the module.
