Whenever possible, modules should be loaded on demand (e.g. specific pages, or in response to a user action), not in startup. If startup modules are needed, they should be as svelte as possible. MwEmbedSupport.hooks.php adds five, some of which have their own dependencies: https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FMwEmbedSupport.git/45a59b6ee3b9de6dc764cbd3fd6c9d7b3139718b/MwEmbedSupport.hooks.php#L28
The same goes for BeforePageDisplay in TimedMediaHandler. BTW, I'm fine with splitting this bug, but there is no component for MwEmbedSupport yet.

On my local wiki, those are enough to stop it from loading jquery.ui.dialog (and all of its dependencies, e.g. jquery.ui.core) on unrelated pages (e.g. the Main Page). Thanks to Ori for his new mw.loader.inspect method which led me into checking this out.

I'm pretty sure the CSS is useless without the JavaScript. If so, I think the addModuleStyles can be removed.

Matt, great sleuthing. I agree the $out->addModuleStyles( 'mw.PopUpMediaTransform' ); is redundant, also probably $out->addModuleStyles( 'mw.PopUpMediaTransform' ); for the similar parser hook. TMH's BeforePageOutput hook loads 'mw.PopUpMediaTransform', which specifies the dependency on 'mw.MwEmbedSupport'. But MwEmbedSupport in addStartupModules() explicitly loads 'mw.MwEmbedSupport' and all the files that it depends on. I think none of that should be necessary with latest MediaWiki, maybe it's there for backward compatibility with 1.17. I submitted Gerrit change #92052.

It looks like <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88943> and <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88944> have been merged. I suppose we're waiting on <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/92052> to be merged in order to mark this bug as resolved/fixed.
This will stop jquery.ui from loading by default on some WMF wikis. Specifically, those where only jquery.mwEmbedUtil depends on jquery.ui.dialog, and nothing else depends on the part of jquery.ui in question. For gadgets and user scripts, they just need to declare their dependency, either using the gadget syntax or mw.loader.using. Scripts should do this in general. However, I thought of another issue. If sites are using jquery.ui buttons in regular wikitext, that will also stop working unless jquery.ui.button is loaded some other way (e.g. English Wikipedia has ext.gadget.teahouse loaded by default, and it depends on jquery.ui.button). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Clickable_button_2 for an example of this in use. This will roll out with 1.23wmf2, which means it hits the first non 'test' wiki on the 4th. I'll also send out an email to wikitech-ambassadors about this.

One thing to keep in mind when "fixing" issues like this is the styling if non-JavaScript elements (eg. PHP-served HTML output) as, unless position/top is set these modules will load async and would cause a FOUC. Of course, that doesn't justify silly code that loads the stylesheet twice but it isn't always obvious that one can simply be removed.

All patches merged -> resetting status. Is more work planned to do here, or shall this be closed as FIXED?
Marking FIXED. If another part is found and we want a bug, someone can re-open or file something more specific.
Not fixed: MwEmbedSupport.hooks.php still says "TODO look into loading this on-demand instead of all pages", as well it should. There is no reason for loading these modules on all pages: 'mw.MwEmbedSupport.style', 'jquery.triggerQueueCallback', 'Spinner', 'jquery.loadingSpinner', 'jquery.mwEmbedUtil', 'mw.MwEmbedSupport'. Re-opening and bumping priority, for two reasons: 1) It's a site performance issue. A longstanding one, but no less severe for it. 2) The hook that it depends on the ResourceLoaderGetStartupModules hook, which is deprecated as of Ic48ad39c6.
