The need for something like this was anticipated in
I2bf43c7e83283f43e047229eb53c244918fcbb0c.
As of version 2.5.0 of Parsoid's output, if alternate text is missing
for an image but a caption is present and image isn't displaying the
caption (ie. it isn't a thumb or frame), then the text content of the
caption will be set as the alt attribute. Parsoid will then drop the
alt attribute when serializing if it matches the caption text, since
it's unnecessary.
However, if the caption is modified and the alt text isn't, the alt will
be serialized. This is likely to be unexpected to editor. They may
have missed that the both the caption and alt are populated in VE and
only edited one place.
Since all of the above is happening only for images where the caption
isn't visible, it doesn't appear to be a much used feature since, at
least for inline images, the experience of caption editing was already
less than optimal.
However, because of a quirk in how galleries are rendered in Parsoid,
this affects gallery caption editing, which is visible and presumably
used more often. See T268250 for a discussion on an improved gallery
structure. But for now, gallery images are effectively inline and set
the alternate text, thus subject to the above.
Here we add a checkbox so that the default is to ignore the alt if it's
the same as the caption. And only make use of it if it differed
originally or was explicitly unchecked to modify.
Bug: T311677
Change-Id: Idf297d8a98995971c5835b0cea56c3317a3626e2
visualeditor-dialog-media-thumbdimensions
Added in 2014 via I7b4d019, but never used, as far as I can tell.
visualeditor-dialog-media-searchselect
Unused since I65aed34 from 2015.
visualeditor-dialog-meta-settings-displaytitle-enable
The feature was removed in 2017 via I46db6b1.
This patch also marks some other messages as being used via comments.
Change-Id: Ia10b6a5c0ea83dd670e2cfdbaa768c41fc0cf392
This was added via I3b792ff. It's about the old sidebar which isn't
accessible any more.
Bug: T311069
Change-Id: I29919285255a84bd58aa06ee1b2816d25a8112a6
Both messages are unused since I1e93c3a. As I understand the patch
what it did was replacing two plain text input fields with WYSIWYG
editors. These don't use placeholders.
Change-Id: Ia4ac7d7c9ae86dedd02040a81300a9722e94d1b7
All 4 messages are introduced via I15fbd1e in January 2014.
The "none" message is unused since Iddd78c9 from February 2014. It
was replaced with a checkbox with a different label.
The other 3 messages are unused since I7057997 from February 2015.
A more generic widget is used since then. It uses messages that are
named "visualeditor-align-widget-center" and so on.

The three messages have been added via Ib973ea2 (tracked via T49804)
and I6778705 in 2014. They have been used exclusively in the file
ve.ui.MWMediaEditDialog.js.
They have been removed from the file via I017a017 in 2014. The commit
message is a bit confusing. It sounds like the changes are copied
from the core submodule. But said submodule is only lib/ve. All other
changes in the patch are done to adapt to the changes made in the
submodule.
TL;DR: Unused since I017a017.

One of the two messages was introduced via I4ef25c0 in 2012.
Back then it was meant to be used as part of the
"visualeditor-preference-enable" message.
Both are, as far as I can see, unused since I9d7786b (tracked via
T58205) from 2013.
