Thread:Talk:JQuery/Turning it on

How do you actually turn jQuery on and load modules?

I have a custom pre 1.16 skin and there is absolutely no documentation whatsoever about how to use JQuery, or Resourceloader. They are clearly NOT being loaded by default in Mediawiki 1.19.

I am sick of going back and forth through these awful documentation pages about this. Why was there no migration guide written for custom skins? Functionality is being slowly broken with successive updates and you haven't given us any idea of how to actually go about migrating. If you're going to break functionality, at least tell us how to fix it!
