MediaWiki UI has matured enough that, while it may change in the future, it's being applied to essential parts of Core like login, signup, and search buttons. At this point I see no reason why we shouldn't apply mw.ui button styles to save, preview, and show changes. I propose that we make save an .mw-ui-button.mw-ui-primary button (so the blue color) while leaving Preview and Show changes grey but increasing the sizing to match Save.

Adding bug 55554 as a dependency, since I think we should sort that out at the same time or beforehand.
I think this should also be blocked on bug 58297 (which I think needs to be a priority). That way, we don't have two major changes to the most important UI on the site in close succession. Originally, we were going to try to do this site-wide at once: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/52169 I'm not sure if we should stick to that (we can probably get it done at the mw.ui hack days, though it may require a while).

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. However, I think we should use the appropriate mw.ui classes for all of them, including the secondary buttons.
Per comment 3, we should decide whether to do it all at once, or piece by piece like this. I sent an email to https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/design about this.
