Manual:Interface/JavaScript/da

MediaWiki:Common.js contains JavaScript that will be loaded for all users. Enter "MediaWiki:Common.js" into the search box of your wiki. It will tell you if the page doesn't exist; if so, and you have the necessary, just create it with the code you need to execute. There are similar pages affecting only users of specific (see below).

If is set to true, users can customize the interface for only themselves by creating and importing personal scripts in user subpages with lowercase titles (see below). makes it easier for site admins and users to share JavaScript, see.

This page covers the state and configuration variables available. For the general JavaScript API, see the JSDuck documentation.

Global scripts

 * MediaWiki:Common.js (all skins, but ignored by the mobile website provided by Extension:MobileFrontend)
 * MediaWiki:skinname.js (per skin, for example MediaWiki:Vector.js)
 * (per user group, for example MediaWiki:Group-sysop.js)

To ease JavaScript programming, the MediaWiki software exposes a number of configuration values in an object called mw.config.

Note Most of these variables have a wg prefix.
 * For legacy reasons these names are exposed as global JavaScript variables if is true, so they use a prefix to avoid collisions.
 * A subset of these names correspond to $wg variables in PHP, but others are unrelated.
 * Besides the names in this list, many extensions also set additional JavaScript config variables prefixed with 'wg'.

These values can be accessed through, documented at ResourceLoader/Core modules.
