r56032 breaks a great many Javascripts checking wgRestrictionEdit. The following change r1=55842&r2=56032&pathrev=56032">http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Xml.php?r1=55842&r2=56032&pathrev=56032 makes that variable become an object (wgRestrictionEdit = {}) if the array is empty, whereas previously it was an array (wgRestrictionEdit = []). Please revert ASAP (and push the revert to live wikis). See also http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Village_pump#Problem_with_javascript_gadgets
I concur, we (Commons users, probably users on other projects as well) are much handicapped by this change in our everyday activities (which, for some, have become impossible).
Backwards-compatibility fix committed in r56497, deployed.
