As part of the (multi-year) WebUI refresh to Material Design, the following folders/files have been added
chrome/browser/resources/webui/md_bookmarks/
chrome/browser/resources/webui/md_downloads/
chrome/browser/resources/webui/md_extensions/
chrome/browser/resources/webui/md_history/
chrome/browser/resources/webui/md_user_manager/
chrome/browser/ui/webui/md_bookmarks/
chrome/browser/ui/webui/md_downloads/
chrome/browser/ui/webui/settings/md_settings_* (5 files)
chrome/test/data/webui/md_bookmarks/
chrome/test/data/webui/md_downloads/
chrome/test/data/webui/md_history/
chrome/test/data/webui/md_user_manager/
chrome/app/md_extensions_strings.grdp
Benefits of removing
- Left-overs: The prefixes made sense at the time, when both the MD and non-MD versions of various WebUI pages co-existed, which is no longer the case.
- Less is better: Having smaller file/folder names reduces the amount of reading and typing one needs to do on a daily basis (opening files, searching on cs.chromium.org etc). It also reduces the need to explain the "md_" prefix to newer team members.
- Might help discourage/phase-out future usage of the "MD" terminology in crbug and CL descriptions. For example I still notice "MD Settings" in crbug and CL descriptions occasionally, as opposed to just "Settings" or "Settings WebUI".
