Background

We have been transitioning from using desktopwebuiactions and mobilewebuiactions in the Event Platform to web_ui_actions in the Metrics Platform to align with our strategy of using MP as the future platform. Stopping the use of mobile- and desktopwebuiactions will reduce technical debt and streamline our instrumentation.

This task focuses solely on deleting the redundant events in WikimediaEvents.
