Re: [w3c/uievents] MouseEvent, WheelEvent, and some algorithms moving to pointer events (PR #411)

sideshowbarker left a comment (w3c/uievents#411)

> @sideshowbarker , any clue about why https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MouseEvent still points to UIEvent ? All of the MDN PRs have been merged.

Do you mean in the **Specifications** section?

If so, I see the `MouseEvent` BCD `spec_url` still points to https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#interface-mouseevent.

https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/28974 only changed the `WheelEvent` spec URL — but not the `MouseEvent` spec URL.

So, it seems like a follow-up BCD PR is needed to update the `spec_url` values for `MouseEvent` and its subpages, to point to the Pointer Events spec?

Or if that’s not what you meant, lemme know. I mean otherwise, the content showing `MouseEvent` still inheriting from `UIEvent` is still correct, right? The inheritance hasn’t changed, right? The definition was just moved to the Pointer Events spec…
