We would like to enable [[Extension:NearbyPages]] in production as it fixes various bugs with the Wikidata experience and unblocks bug fixing on this feature which has been frozen to development since 2020.
It currently uses WVUI.
It makes sense to migrate this to Codex before deployment to test the migration documentation in preparation for migrating Vector and QuickSurveys.

@Jdlrobson NearbyPages is a dedicated special page, right (as opposed to an embed on all article pages like RelatedArticles)?
If so then this would be another good candidate for alpha-testing Codex. It might make sense for a few projects to do this at the same time; anything that lives on a dedicated special page and does not require SSR is a good candidate as far as I'm concerned.
My personal view is that no new WVUI-based code should be deployed to production at this point.
Based on our conversation with the Abstract Wikipedia team today, we hope to have an "alpha" release of Codex available in NPM and MediaWiki in 1-2 weeks. We just need to finalize a packaging strategy (T294993).
