I think you mean the labeling described here:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/javascript-labels.html.  Since there are multiple
licenses covering different JS files on any given page, I'm not sure what is
needed.

But, just to be clear, this bug is requesting we follow this suggestion from
javascript-labels.html:

   On each page that uses JavaScript, include a link that points to the labels
   page described above. Mark this link with the attribute rel="jslicense", so
   that automated tools can find it. For example, your final link might look
   like this:

    <a href="/about/javascript" rel="jslicense">JavaScript license
    information</a>

   This link can be small, but it should be clearly visible to people who
   visit your site.


In any case the JS code that is distributed with MediaWiki and served from
there is GPL.  For example, the jQuery library (included with MediaWiki) is
covered by the GPL -- http://jquery.org/license/.

I believe files like Common.js --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js -- are under the CC-BY-SA/GFDL
like the rest of the content on wikipedia since that is the license text
displayed when editing these files on-wiki.
