Yes, I'm sure there will be some teething problems but right now I
think getting our teams using standard UI elements and site
consistency should be the top priority.

I'm working on a fix as we speak.

Can you give some example pages of this?

I will let designers comment on that

Please please please someone find a way to auto-update this. This is
supposed to be a living style guide and that's embarrassing :) Any
takers?

On a side note: whether we decide to stick with the design or not, we
only now need to change it in one place and I think that's awesome.

PS. Please make mediawiki ui checkboxes happen:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/149121/ it would be great to have
BetaFeatures, core and other extensions using the same checkbox
element!
