JavaScript

See also Manual:Interface/JavaScript for use of JavaScript overrides on a local wiki install.

As of MediaWiki 1.17 most JavaScript code in MediaWiki is object oriented and registered and loaded as ResourceLoader modules. Also jQuery has been introduced in MediaWiki core as of MediaWiki 1.16, and loaded by default on every page as of 1.17. Before MediaWiki 1.16, most JavaScript was in wikibits.js and other files in /skins/common/.
