Topic on Talk:ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users)

How do you actually activate ResourceLoader? Particularly with an older pre 1.16 skin?

Furthermore, how do you load individual plug-ins?

Skins have little to no documentation. Look at the Vector skin that skips with your MediaWiki version (1.20 I hope?) and use that as leading example.

There is no turning it on, ResourceLoader is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room.

A few (but not all) key points in making sure you're not breaking the javascript loading flow:

• Use $this->html( 'headelement' );
• Use $this->printTrail
• Use $out->addModules( .. );
• Don't use <script src="..." ..>
