the another big question is that why don't include
JQuery to load
automatically with _every_ pages? Now at least two wikis load JQuery
v1.3.2 from common.js (see
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js,
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js), the
UsabilityInitiative extension use JQuery v1.3.2 with cookie and
browser plugins, and the collection extension use JQuery v1.3.2. Three
JQuery, two version. This is not goooood...
Collection uses 1.2.5. I suppose we are waiting for ScriptLoader to be ready,
but it would be really helpful if it would be included normally for the meantime
so that site admins can start rewriting site-wide scripts. It has a very small
footprint (20k minified and gzipped), it is unobtrusive (AFAIK 1.3 doesn't even
conflict with other jQuery versions) and cannot be loaded through importScript()
due to a bug in older Explorers, which leaves including it full in
MediaWiki:Common.js which is not a nice sight...
