--- Comment #1 from Krinkle <[email protected]> --- This is by design. The main use (and currently only use) of this method is to determine whether to actually load a module that is specified to be hardcoded in the page without a version number / cache buster in the url. E.g. the 'site' module which is hardcoded in the html (dedicated request, not mw.loader.load). If those modules are not configured (e.g. the wiki has these disabled via wg config), or not yet initialised (the wiki or user has no such page), then we exclude it from the html to save a useless http request. Emptying the page means the structure is still there but (temporarily?) unused or disabled by users. In those cases we don't want to generate html with no <script src=".. modules=site"> in it as that would be be cached for 30 days (e.g. 'site' module in html for anonymous users). When the page is no longer empty, it would be missing from all cached pages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
