Remove assumption from MediaWiki core that JS/CSS are only in MediaWiki namespace or User subpages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There are a few places in MediaWiki that assume that JS/CSS are only stored in the MediaWiki namespace or in User subpages; basically anything that calls Title::isCssOrJsPage() or isCssJsSubpage().

This isn't a very good assumption, and with the introduction of Gadgets 2.0 and the Gadgets namespace, this will be false.

basically anything that
calls Title::isCssOrJsPage() or isCssJsSubpage().

A lot of these calls seem to be for supporting the deprecated ShowRawCssJs hook. Except that hook was only deprecated in 1.24, so we'll need to wait until 1.25 to kill it :/

Will this have any impact on things like the visibility of the toolbars (the classic and/or from WikiEditor)? See e.g.:

All patches mentioned in this report were merged or abandoned - is there more work left to do here (if yes: please reset the bug report status to NEW or ASSIGNED), or can you close this ticket as RESOLVED FIXED?

@Krinkle and I looked into this today and couldn't find anything else left to do.
