Description

mediawiki.special.recentchanges.js defines a logic to disable some checkboxes depending on the state of a namespace selector.

This logic is also needed on Special:Contributions and Special:Watchlist (when added, see T33704).

Having a reusable module for this makes it easy to add that the the other special pages.

Please create a module for this. I have no idea for a name of a new module or a good concept for a module design. Thanks.

And since today also for Special:NewPages

Special:Watchlist was fixed with gerrit 94617

If the forms are rewritten to use HTMLForm, you could:

Convert the entire namespace selector functionality into a HTMLFormField subclass (dropdown + 2 checkboxes), a bit like HTMLSelectOrOtherField.
Then add the code from mediawiki.special.recentchanges.js to mediawiki.htmlform.js, which already has some form logic (e.g. for <select> fields enhanced with jquery.chosen).
