Description

The train will be next deployed from Tuesday, 7 January 2020 onwards with 1.35.0-wmf.14. With it will roll out new changes that make Special:MobileMenu obsolete that we implemented in T225213.

After at least 1 week to at most 1 month Special:MobileMenu will no longer be available within cached HTML and the checkbox pattern will be used for opening the mobile main menu.

This means we can remove the Special:MobileMenu code and yet another thing for this team to maintain. Good job!
