InputBox should use Mediawiki.ui
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

InputBox is widely used for (slightly) interactive workflows on many wikis. Now that we have a standard house style for buttons in the form of the mw-ui-button styles (default, progressive, constructive and destructive styles), we should make these widely-used InputBox buttons use them.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/section-2.html

Per the style guide, probably the two search types (search, fulltext, search2) should use the default white Agora style, while the others which open an edit window for a new page or addition to an existing page (create, comment, commenttitle) should use the progressive style.

+1 to what Sage Ross said.

We're using inputboxes and mw-ui-buttons quite a lot now on the education portal on Outreach wiki, and it'd be better if they all looked the same: that is, pretty and new. :)

Currently an inputbox cannot be a progressive button as shown here:

We wish that this were possible. Hoping you can help.

Thanks!

hm, why only the buttons? can we have 'mw-ui-input' in the text input as well?

If no one else does it before me, I'll work on this one I setup my dev environment again

@McIntireEvan: sry, i didn't know, that you already had a change for it :/

@Florian Don't worry about it, your change was better than mine and I learned some stuff from it so no harm done!
