Description

If I understand T99369: Remove client-side MathJax rendering mode correctly, the Math extension doesn't support MathJax any longer. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Here are a few things I found by simply running git grep -i jax:

There are, however, some traces of MathJax left in the Math extension's code:

Translatable messages: mw_math_latexml_jax and mw_math_mathjax. They should be simply deleted from en.json,and qqq.json, and the other languages will be auto-updated. (patch)
README mentions MathJax configuration.
A reference image for Special:MathStatus. Actually opening that page in the English Wikipedia says "Test Comparing the generated SVG with the reference failed."
Tests.
Remove $wgUseMathJax = true; from WMF's CommonSettings.php. (patch)

If MathJax is completely irrelevant for the Math extension, then I guess that the only results for git grep -i jax should be in the HISTORY file.

If MathJax is completely irrelevant for the Math extension

Since the math extension builds on mathjax for generating output (via mathjax-node in mathoid), it is probably still relevant.

I did run git grep -i jax and the remaining results are justified. Closing.
