Description

r56032 breaks a great many Javascripts checking wgRestrictionEdit.

The following change

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).

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.
