Hey,
Starting with version 1.24wmf21 (which will be deployed to production
wikis starting 11 September), MediaWiki will no longer execute
JavaScript code on Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (previously the cutoff
was MSIE6, as of last month).
This is for the same reasons that we stopped JavaScript on MSIE6 [*] –
the browser is not actively supported by its manufacturer, and this
prevents users with this browser from experiencing a number of bugs.
Although IE 7 is not receiving any feature updates, it is still
receiving security updates.
However, it is 4 versions behind (latest IE is 11), and the usage has
declined massively (e.g., see http://theie7countdown.com/)
