We should drop that now obsolete dependency, especially in light of that entire module being deprecated (see parent).

I'm not 100% sure this is worth including in user notice, but it will happen in the wmf.15 train.

Thanks for the context and hesitation note. It's definitely better to suggest things that are declined than the opposite!

I wonder if it would be possible for us to spend a couple of minutes with some narrow onwiki searches, to find out if there are any gadgets/userscripts that are relevant? If we can do that, and find there are not any obvious uses, that will help save many hours of collective reading (and translating). E.g. I naively tried searches for mw.Uri at Enwiki

Change #1113116 merged by jenkins-bot:

[mediawiki/extensions/Echo@master] refactor: Remove unused RL dependency on mediawiki.uri

Sure, let's include a brief note. Please could you draft some proposed wording? I imagine it would start with something like:

Developers who maintain tools that run on the Special:Notifications page should …

But I'm uncertain how to describe what they need to check for, what to replace it with if found, or where to find related documentation if needed. (or whichever other bits are important). Thanks!

@Quiddity: Sorry, this task slipped through for me. A proposed wording could be:

Developers of tools that run on-wiki should note that mw.Uri is deprecated. Tools requiring mw.Uri must explicitly declare mediawiki.Uri as a ResourceLoader dependency, and should migrate to the browser native URL API soon.

@Urbanecm_WMF What do you think about the above as a general deprecation reminder?

Note that as of today, this module is actually still available. If I recall correctly from a different conversation, that is because WikimediaEvents is still loading it on basically every page.
