I suppose the ultimate plan is to make the whole MediaWiki software use OOjs UI, isn't it?

Per T86851, LookupInputWidget has been deprecated in favor of the simpler LookupElement (thanks @matmarex!).
Now there shouldn't be any blocker for using OOjs UI.

A mwgrep for jquery.ui.autocomplete would help, it may not catch every usage though.

Catrope moved this task from Unsorted to Researching… on the UI-Standardization board.

jquery.ui.autocomplete is not used in MW core, but it is used by the following extensions:

Gadgets (RL2 branch only)
Translate
MassMessage
EducationProgram

jquery.suggestions is used by:

MW core (searchSuggest and userSuggest)
WikiEditor
CentralAuth
UploadWizard

matmarex mentioned this in T72428: page header search and index.php?search should use advanced input search control.May 30 2015, 4:46 PM

There is now a TitleInputWidget in MediaWiki core which will replace MassMessage's usage of jquery.ui.autocomplete.

We will probably need to create similar widgets for core's userSuggest and CentralAuth's globaluserautocomplete.

And that's UserInputWidget now :)

CentralAuth will need to create its own widget/extend UserInputWidget.

The EducationProgram extension uses a heavily modified version of Twitter Typeahead, in combination of Bootstrap Tags Input. Used on course pages to allow instructors and volunteers to enroll students in a course. (See [[ https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FEducationProgram.git/master/resources%2Fep.tagsinput%2Fep.typeahead.js
