Description

Problem

The Special:NewLexeme's user interface was composed using a combination of Vue 3 WiKit next elements, such as Lookup. The WiKit design system is now on its deprecation path, as it has been superseded by Codex, the official Wikimedia design system. The utilization of WiKit components is not recommended, and they should be replaced in order to reduce maintenance costs and ensure consistency.

Solution

We have to replace WiKit's Lookup component by the Codex equivalent: cdx-lookup (Link to demo). In order to preserve its validation behavior, Lookup needs to be wrapped within the Field component (see demo). Field also provides a label for the components it wraps.

The WiKit Lookup component is used by the following Special:NewLexeme components:

ItemLookup.vue (Reused by LanguageInput.vue and LexicalCategoryInput.vue)
SpellingVariantInput.vue

Acceptance criteria

The WiKit Lookup component used in the Special:NewLexeme is replaced by its Codex equivalent, Lookup Field

Hi, I noticed this moving and wanted to let you know about T362650: Lookup: address usability issues. That task might soonish result in minor changes to the behavior of Codex Lookups, though I cannot say whether those changes will be relevant to this Special:NewLexeme usecase.
