MediaWiki:Gadget-I18n-js.js

/* <nowiki>
 * Library for accessing i18n messages for use in Dev Wiki scripts.
 * See [[I18n-js]] for documentation.
 *
 * @author Cqm <https://dev.fandom.com/User:Cqm>
 * @author OneTwoThreeFall <https://dev.fandom.com/User:OneTwoThreeFall>
 *
 * @version 0.6.4
 *
 * @notes Also used by VSTF wiki for their reporting forms (with a non-dev i18n.json page)
 * @notes This is apparently a commonly used library for a number of scripts and also includes
 *        a check to prevent double loading. This can make it painful to test from your JS
 *        console. To get around this, add ?usesitejs=0&useuserjs=0 to your URL.
