Description

https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/developer/reference/backend/mixins.html?highlight=chatter

Is still specifying:

            <div class="oe_chatter">
                <field name="message_follower_ids" widget="mail_followers"/>
                <field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread"/>
            </div>

When it seems it has been replaced by a simpler:
<chatter/>
