Background
User research for Special:GlobalContributions was conducted using Codex designs. There was a positive response to the Codex designs.
In MediaWiki, there are several special pages that display lists of contributions based on search criteria (Special:Contributions, Special:DeletedContribuitons, Special:IPContributions, and soon Special:GlobalContributions).
The search form for these pages is built by the same part of the software (ContributionsSpecialPage), and therefore looks the same:
Ideally, we would update the form to use Codex. We should do this carefully, since Special:Contributions is widely used and the users may not want big changes suddenly.
What needs doing
- In ContributionsSpecialPage, allow subclasses to specify whether they want to use Codex or OOUI for their form
- Update any style modules and the form structure as necessary
- If any of the form fields have not yet been implemented in Codex, implement them. We may be able to get support from the Design Systems Team.
