Description

Now that we switched the default skin of mediawiki but the installer currently it looks more like the old vector:

You can test it by moving LocalSettings.php to another place. The CSS is in mw-config directory.

It could use some Codex love

I would personally like us to not make it look like Vector 2022 or Vevtor since we have so many different skins out there and it would be easier to maintain (since installer can't share styles with Vector since they are separate repos and it will be a pain to sync them). Instead it seems like it would make sense to build out the installer using @wikimedia/codex components so it gets a Wikimedia-feel (tagging Design-Systems-Team).

@Bmueller this also seems like a good project for a MediaWiki core team. :)

I also agree it would make sense to just re-implement it in Codex. That would ensure it is consistent with Wikimedia's design language generally.

Sure. I edited the ticket to reflect that
