common.js and common.css are loaded by the system for all skins.
- common.js — contains configuration values and the code to load all of the other scripts. It does no "work" itself, just loads all of the other scripts.
- common.css — In my case, common.css contains no CSS at all. All of the CSS that I need is loaded by the JS script that needs it.
Notes
[edit]This script is written to be loaded by my account on the other WikiMedia wikis that I use.
On other wikis, common.js only contains
mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GhostInTheMachine/common.js?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
This script includes a system for selecting which other scripts should be loaded on the different wikis. A configuration array contains strings like
"|en|media|commons|meta| User:GhostInTheMachine/UI.js",
This means — load my UI script on the wikis that return one of the four listed IDs.
The ID is obtained by fetching wgWikiID and making the ID smaller by removing any "wiki".
| "ID" | Which wiki? | What is it? |
|---|---|---|
| en | English Wikipedia | This wiki |
| media | MediaWiki | The wiki software |
| commons | Wikimedia Commons | Media repository |
| meta | Meta-Wiki | Wikimedia Foundation projects |
Where it is not appropriate to use a specific script or the wiki does not support it, the ID value is replaced with dashes (a matching number to keep the list tidy).
