Replacement for .error et al.

@Johan (WMF): .errorbox et al. are also being phased out, see phab:T270796. I don’t think we should advise people to start using classes that may stop working even earlier than the ones they replace. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:18, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Tacsipacsi: Thanks for the reminder! Had already forgotten. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 01:19, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

@Johan (WMF): Sorry for the late answer. I think useful this possibility should be mentioned, but it should be also mentioned that the name will change shortly. Or maybe the whole entry should be dropped for now, given that there’s active discussion in the Phabricator ticket and it seems like this change won’t happen in this form (.error will be kept). There’s no hurry, we have more than a month before the change takes place (if it isn’t postponed). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 13:40, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, removed it for now. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 21:12, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
