[WtC] [EPIC] Migrate Special:NewLexeme page to Codex
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Context

The Special:NewLexeme page allows Wikidata users to create new Lexeme entities by filling a concise form.

This core page was recently rebuilt using WiKit design system components. WiKit is in the process of being deprecated in favor of Codex, the new Wikimedia design system. Thus the need for a migration.

Main objective

Migrate the Special:NewLexeme page to Codex. This involves:

Replacing the components used in the Special:NewLexeme UI 1:1, making sure that all functionality is preserved
Replacing current styling using Codex style tokens and mixins
Ensure that product requirements such as internationalization, accessibility and responsiveness (which is currently a blocker T302889) are met

The merged code runs fine with this change, but I definitely feel like the move to codex has made the input a bit weird, especially for the Spelling Input Variant box. When I enter values there, I have the impression that the control is often eating the first character that I type.

Do you see the same thing @hoo?

There was a similar problem in the browser tests too (see the comments on Gerrit).

While trying to adjust the browser test for the updated special page I found a bug: The fist char entered into the spelling variant field seems to always get discarded.

I managed to reproduce this in the browser tests (note the 'X').
