Attempted fix for IE6-8: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/124365
Depends on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/124360
(not sure when that gets applied to core, there is a temporary patch for testing: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/124363 ).

Pau brought up the fact that IE 8 and below don't support SVG, which means that we'll need to generate PNG equivalents for each SVG icon and use Mediawiki.ui' LESS mixin called .background-image-svg(@SVG, @fallback)

Tgr subscribed.

IE 6-7 support was dropped since then. Not sure if this is still relevant.

Mass-removing the Multimedia tag from MediaViewer tasks, as this is now being worked on by the Reading department, not Editing's Multimedia team.

IE8 is a non-JS browser now in MediaWiki, so this is no longer actionable.
