Manual:Module deps table

The module_deps table is for caching which local files a skin/module depends on that aren't registered directly.

Currently used for tracking images and LESS files that  depends on.

md_module
Module name

md_skin
Skin name

md_deps
JSON 1>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Msg_resource_links_table#blob|blob with file dependencies.

Since MediaWiki 1.25 (T37472),  now deletes the contents of the module_deps table, thus clearing the cache. For versions of MediaWiki which do not yet have this fix in update.php, the workaround is to manually delete the contents of the module_deps table.
