We're requesting the development of a public API that allows us to efficiently check the status of the Media Viewer extension using something like an mw.mv API. Currently, there is a need for a more straightforward way to access this information without relying on fragile conditions.
Here's how the API could be used in JavaScript with the mw.mv API:
/**
* Get the Media Viewer preferences from mw.mv API.
*
* @return {boolean} Media Viewer Preferences
*/
function getMediaViewerSettings() {
return mw.mv ? mw.mv.isEnabled() : false;
}
# TODO
[x] Create new API
[] use it in WikimediaEvents
