DMartin-WMF removed a subtask: T391224: Wikifunctions UI: Support the use of lightweight enum types.

I'm removing this task from the Q4 work stream, because

It's best for the changes to be made by the community members who created the existing enum types
In the remaining time of this quarter, we will provide better documentation and one or 2 "helper functions" that will make the community work easier, so it's slightly premature to suggest these changes
Based on experience to date, the community will move forward on doing this without needing any guidance from the team.
