             Bug #: 30358
           Summary: Make client-side loader load site and user modules
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.19-svn
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Resource Loader
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified


The site and user modules are currently loaded with <script> tags that are
injected into the HTML from the PHP side. This is apparently done because they
need to be loaded with only=scripts (so they're not wrapped in a closure) and
need to be loaded last, after anything else. These things are a bit tricky but
not impossible to support in the client-side loader, and loading them from the
client side will allow us to timestamp the site module (which currently isn't
timestamped because anons get it as well), improving caching efficiency by
caching it for 30 days instead of 5 minutes. The user module is already
timestamped by PHP, which is OK because logged-in users bypass Squid.

We can't combine the site module with any regular modules due to these
requirements. We also can't combine the site and user modules in one request
because that would cause insane cache fragmentation.
