This project is about converting MediaWiki extensions [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiLove | WikiLove ]], [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MultimediaViewer | MultimediaViewer ]] and [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MassMessage | MassMessage ]] to use [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI | OOUI ]].
OOUI is the WMF's widget library that follows our [[ https://wikimedia.github.io/WikimediaUI-Style-Guide/ | style guide ]]. We are trying to move all interfaces to this new library
so that we no longer have a mix of old CSS, no CSS and jQuery UI. For the project you'll need to:
* Look at the current design of the extension and see how it can be redesigned using OOUI [[ https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=widgets&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop | widgets ]], [[ https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=dialogs&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop | dialogs ]], and [[ https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=widgets&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop#Outlined-BookletLayout | layouts ]]
* Migrate the forms to [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HTMLForm | HTMLForm ]] where applicable
* Switch the interface to using OOUI
There are many extensions and special pages that have already been converted:
* {T137017}
* {T104299}
* {T96914}
