Commit summary for MediaWiki.r113772:

follow up r113554 . fixing a regression which was introduced in r113554. Making 
now all all ids unique even when you have several polls on a mw page. using, 
new, the resourceloader to load common methods. just a little bit ... more of 
jquery. fixing a forgotten wgParser to parser variable problem. introducing and 
moving js and css to resources.

Wikinaut's comment:

I was aware of the mentioned issue (to perhaps better use the namespace number) 
and the limitation of string length, thanks for telling me (its always good to 
discuss such things). 

May be that this poll_title database column is better fully to be dropped, 
because:

when you - what I do in certain wikis - have the same poll on more(!) than one 
wiki page, it simply does not make sense to memorise the(one) page name where 
you first placed the poll tag and the poll was created. My recent 
implementation of the ajaxpoll-tracking-category is in some sense better, and 
as already mentioned on the extension page, a kind of poll-adminstration panel 
(special page) can guide admins to maintain polls, so that the poll_title 
column won't play any role in future releases and will be dropped.
