See the notes on my page covering my common.js

Importing user scripts

N Template {{Iusc}} = {{Install user script}}

• This was the old way to import a user script which uses the importScript() function
• Do NOT use this as the importScript function will probably be deleted one day

Timeline for importScript function

February 2010	MediaWiki 1.16	added importScript as part of the mediawiki.util module
November 2015	MediaWiki 1.26	unconditional preload of mediawiki.util disabled by default
June 2016	MediaWiki 1.27	preload of mediawiki.util module no longer available — scripts that use the mediawiki.util module must express a dependency on it
July 2017	MediaWiki 1.29	the importScript function is deprecated
Unknown	Unknown	the importScript function is deleted. Global chaos erupts

Loading user scripts

Y Template {{Lusc}} = {{Load user script}}

• This is the current way to load a user script which uses the newer mw.loader.load() function
• Migration guide re Iusc vs. Lusc
• MW:ResourceLoader/Core modules
• mw.loader mw.loader
  • mw.loader-method-using load dependencies

Also Y {{Js}} — uses the full URL, so it can load scripts from another wiki

JavaScript misc

• jQuery API documentation
• JavaScript mw.config — direct access to config variables currently works but is strongly discouraged
• loading config variables — instead, load config variables via mw.config.get( 'wgUserEditCount')
