Description Helder 2014-02-21 14:01:58 UTC

Aside from [[MediaWiki:Common.js]], MediaWiki already provides (local) [[MediaWiki:Group-sysop.js]] (.css) pages which will be loaded only for users in the associated groups, and [[MediaWiki:Vector.css]] (.js) which will load only in the specified skin.

Similarly, the extension could provide global JS/CSS for skins and user groups:
* [[MediaWiki:Global-group-sysop.js]]
* [[MediaWiki:Global-group-sysop.css]]
* [[MediaWiki:Global-vector.js]]
* [[MediaWiki:Global-vector.css]]
* ...

Sounds reasonable.

I wonder if we should also support CA global groups & the GlobalUserRights extension.

Comment 4 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2014-06-16 01:37:00 UTC

Still need to figure out groups.

Comment 5 Helder 2014-07-30 18:43:39 UTC

Also, consider adding
* [[User:Me/global-vector.js]]
* [[User:Me/global-vector.css]]
* [[User:Me/global-monobook.js]]
* [[User:Me/global-monobook.css]]
etc... (although I doubt someone which uses many wikis will use more than one skin one each of them).

While doing so is extremely trivial, I'd rather not unless there's a strong use case for it.
