Commit summary for MediaWiki.r85244: Drop connetion between Skin and Linker and turn Linker into a staticly usable class. Dantman's comment: Very late... Linker.php has always hinted that one day it was intended to be split from Skin completely, take a look at the second comment in Linker.php from back in MediaWiki 1.5: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/REL1_5/phase3/includes/Linker.php?view=markup Linker is used by many things, including the parser. Things which should actually NEVER be trying to load up a skin which is dependent on the user in the current session. I just finally implemented what was noted forever. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
