Bug #: 30074
Summary: Moving [[User:SomeUser/vector.js]] to
[[User:SomeUser/common.js]] shoudn't cause JavaScript
errors
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL:

22#JavaScript_Problems
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Javascript
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Currentlym if SomeUser moves its [[User:SomeUser/vector.js]] to
[[User:SomeUser/common.js]], the vector page will receive the redirect code
such as
----------------------------------------
#REDIRECT [[User:SomeUser/common.js]]
----------------------------------------
which breaks the user scripts since this is not part of JS syntax (see a real
case in the provided URL).
I think it is good idea to avoid this breakage somehow, e.g.:
* Do not redirect the JS and CSS pages when moved
* Add the redirect code /* inside of a comment */ (and make it work there, if
it currently doesn't)
* Add some kind of "importScript" or "mw.loader.load" function instead of a
redirect, so that if a user is importing the old page it will still get the
content of the script
* Some other option...
