| {icon check color=green} | OOUI | [[ https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=icons&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop#widgets-mediawiki-vector-ltr | Uses the correct icon ]] | | {F9379666}
| {icon exclamation-triangle color=red} | Post-Edit Feedback popup | Uses the Unicode × glyph with hover behavior | Extension:PostEdit outputs an <a> tag containing the HTML entity × and styles it. | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/PEF-1-Cropped.png

| - | ~~Visual Editor Feedback dialog~~ | As of 2017-09 not an issue any more => converted to OOUI | | {F9404470}
| {icon check color=green} | ULS | ~~Thicker stroke “x” SVG, no :hover behavior~~ | Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector custom `.uls-icon-close` class | {F9362244} After: {F9404483}
| {icon exclamation-triangle color=red} | Extension:Translate | Similar to ULS, different icon though, as it's minimally smaller | `.grid .tux-message-editor .close` | {F9405760}
The differences make WMF wikis feel unpolished.
