Language selector: Enable footer based entrypoint for new language selector
Closed, ResolvedPublic8 Estimated Story Points
Actions

Description

Create a framework for apps / users to register entry-points inside the new language selector.

Implement the framework for use with the footer entry-point.

The entry-point features should not be too intertwined with MediaWiki as we might want to move the language selector out of MediaWiki later.

Use the footer entry-point to link to the new preferences. See T415059: Evaluate placement of language display, input and font related user preferences for more details.

More details to follow.

We've built an Entrypoint Registry that extensions can use to register entrypoints in ULS: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:APatro_(WMF)/UniversalLanguageSelector/EntrypointRegistry

Some screenshots from my local machine for the quick actions entrypoint:

The entrypoint can also be tested on https://bd4346ecd8.catalyst.wmcloud.org/wiki/FewLanguages but the interwiki language link entrypoint will be missing.

LGTM, but should we address the overlap issue with the language item in scope of this task or some other task?
