Fix sizes of arrow and chevron icons
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Background

As a part of T399175: [EPIC] Refine Codex icon library the Codex icons were redesigned. The previous set of icons had arrows and chevrons that were designed in a way that meant during implementation, they commonly had to be made a smaller size so to be more visually balanced. The new icon set redesigned these icons, specifically expand, collapse, upTriangle, and downTriangle to be visually balanced with the overall set by default. This means, the downstream resizing now makes the icon too small.

Goal

We should understand all the places this is happening, using something like this code search query, then see if in production it feels like an icon sizing bug, document it then address it, likely by removing the resizing part of the mixin.

Event Timeline

I get new tiny folding arrows next to "Pages included in this section:", "Parser profiling data (help): ", and the other options that appear when I am in source edit mode on en.WP. They need to be larger. They changed about two weeks ago.

I filed T431921 for this.
