This is an old jQuery alias from Usability Initiative times... Can't it be deprecated? https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core/blob/master/resources/mediawiki/mediawiki.js#L2354-L2355 Something like this: mw.log.deprecate( window, '$j', jQuery, 'Use $ or jQuery instead.' );

Bug is now in 1.23, hence setting the Version field back to 1.23. When the code was introduced is mostly uninteresting.
