Description

The presence of active translation extension tags on a page suppresses resource loader. Affecting visual editor, wikitext editor toolbar, central notice etc.

Example:

Suppressed (SubPage): https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=WikiWomen%27s_Collaborative/Twitter/ast&banner=WLM17_gb_test0&uselang=en&force=1
Suppressed (Main Translated Source Page): https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=WikiWomen%27s_Collaborative/Twitter&banner=WLM17_gb_test0&uselang=en&force=1
Working (No translate tags present): https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steward_requests/Username_changes/2011-11&banner=WLM17_gb_test0&uselang=en&force=1

Translatable pages work fine on other wikis (tested on mediawiki.org and Commons).

The bug cannot be reproduced when appending &debug=true.

Is this new behaviour or just newly-spotted?

This a new issue and one I have noticed since at least Tuesday

OK. Nothing obvious in Translate's recent git history, nor in the changes to ResourceLoader.

JavaScript has disappeared in various places including Special:Upload on Commons (T175147) so I doubt this is related to Translate specifically. (I see however that specific issue was fixed, while I don't see any error in the console here.)

(And nothing in CentralNotice either.)

Nicer trace:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'valueOf' of undefined
    at String.toLocaleString (jquery.i18n.js?47d68:53)
    at add (load.php?debug=true&lang=en&modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki|mediawiki.legacy.wikibits&only=scripts&skin=vector&version=0ynbgde:9508)

    at fire (load.php?debug=true&lang=en&modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki|mediawiki.legacy.wikibits&only=scripts&skin=vector&version=0ynbgde:3148)

The message it is trying to load is "Link-by-id". So it seems the gadget CurIDLink has something to do with this.

jquery.i18n overrides String.toLocaleString method (maybe not a good idea), but somehow that ends up called without this being set.

If I disable the enabled by default gadget named Adds Link by ID to the instruments on sidebar which is the link to the page with its page ID instead of title. in preferences, the error goes away.

var api = new mw.Api();
api.loadMessages( 'Link-by-id', 'Link-by-id-desc' ).done( linkById );

I guess this was meant:

var api = new mw.Api();
api.loadMessages( [ 'Link-by-id', 'Link-by-id-desc' ] ).done( linkById );

To clarify, it is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-CurIDLink.js

Thanks for catching! For some reason it actually worked so I did not notice that something got broken.
