New item for section block News

Please, You add a section with link on Special:Newsletters. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 20:07, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Most of the newsletters are dead or sufficiently niche they don't belong here. Not convinced this is warranted. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 20:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

I've created a sandbox version of this template with edits to the News box, in order to migrate the "More News" button from MediaWiki UI classes to Codex. That button is the only remaining mw-ui-* element on the Main Page, and the sole reason it still requires MediaWiki UI and prints this message to the console on load:

This page is using the deprecated ResourceLoader module "mediawiki.ui.button".
[1.41] Please use Codex. See migration guidelines: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Codex/Migrating_from_MediaWiki_UI

If someone would be so kind as to transfer those changes to the live template, that'd help reduce the main page's reliance on deprecated code. FeRDNYC (talk) 15:00, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

@Pppery any comment on this? Hide on Rosé (talk) 15:27, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

No. If you think this makes sense then do it. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 15:29, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

@FeRDNYC How is this change implemented? Hide on Rosé (talk) 15:32, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

The deprecated MediaWiki UI is the only one that’s guaranteed to work; if we switched to Codex, there would be no guarantee that the necessary styles will be loaded (especially on skins that don’t use Codex, i.e. anything but Vector 2022 and Minerva). See phab:T355242. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

I've boldly solved this, by simply removing the "button" styling which wasn't ideal in the first place: it's just a simple link, and should be styled like a link. Buttons ≠ Links, they are semantically different. If more emphasis is needed, we can make the text bigger or something instead. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:13, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

@Waddie96 Is this ready yet? You don't have a recommended replacement for the first icon. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 17:54, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

@Jdforrester (WMF) Oh shucks sorry didn't realise that. Waddie96 (talk) 18:21, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

@Waddie96: No problem. Done! Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 13:13, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! Waddie96 (talk) 23:51, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
