--- Comment #19 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2012-03-10 22:03:03 UTC ---
mw.loader.load has 2 purposes:
* On-demand loading of a module registered in ResourceLoader
* On-demand loading of a raw url

I think this is a solid system. And loading wiki pages is not a useful feature.
Instead we should focus on implementing the ability for users to create their
own complete ResourceLoader modules within their own space. Allowing raw
loading of wiki pages (although minified) is barely any improvement over the
current system and doesn't address any of the following issues, which have on
the contrary been solved in ResourceLoader
* Proper caching
* Not loading the same content twice (using dependency lists of modules by a
name instead of direct loading of a script page)
* Concatenation
* Translation
* RTL-support
* more..

The original request "Include the functionality of importScript into
mediaWiki.loader.load" is in my opinion a WONTFIX. Until a proper solution
exists, please use importScript() (or if you need a callback, use
jQuery.getScript(url, callback).

The underlying need however is not a wontfix, but a valid need. Instead of
addressing that by adding support for direct loading of a wiki page to
mw.loader.load is bug 34958 (creation of ResourceLoader modules on a user
level)
