Hi,
We were having a session where we talked about resource loading, code entry
points for the front-end, and how things work on MediaWiki, and we came up
with a small pic to explain the lifecycle for people newer to MediaWiki.
Maybe it could help some people get a better grasp about where files are
coming from and what why the load.php urls are as they are.
Please, forgive any missing details, and if there is something very wrong
I'd love to correct it, please let me know.
Also to clarify, "Magic" is used as "Dynamic, runtime based, dependent on
the state of your code/client cache/server state & extensions" to shorten
things and in a humorous key.
