- Wikibase T279880: [Wikibase] Remove usage of 1.37 deprecated CSS class 'mw-small-spinner''
Repos that wish to continue to use these styles should either
- copy across the style to their own repository. It would be preferable if such repos used their own class as well to avoid false positives in the above search result.
e.g.
.mw-ajax-loader {
background-image: url( images/ajax-loader.gif );
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding: 16px;
position: relative;
top: -16px;
}
.mw-small-spinner {
padding: 10px !important; /* stylelint-disable-line declaration-no-important */
margin-right: 0.6em;
background-image: url( images/spinner.gif );
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}- Use $.createSpinner() from the 'jquery.spinner' library.
