:*Globally embedded page modules. These modules (such as "<code>user.options</code>") are embedded within the page for security and/or performance reasons. Since they execute synchronously and are embedded before any load queue, these not only load by default but also "finish" loading before any module, gadget or otherwise starts loading. Which means technically you can get away with not specifying <code>user.options</code> as a dependency because it's impossible for them not to be there. However, once again, do not rely on the arbitrary implementation detail that this particular module is being embedded right now.
:In short: Just declare all your direct module dependencies (either inline with <code>loader.using</code> or with <code>gadget[dependencies=]</code>) and let ResourceLoader do its job. [[User:Krinkle|Krinkle]] ([[User talk:Krinkle|talk]]) 17:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
:: <small>I copied this reply to {{
::{{U|Krinkle}} In short... confusion galore. The naming conventions doesn't help. I thought user.options was part of mw.user (confusion nr.1) and mw.user was stated to be part of mw.map, but not anymore (since today, confucion nr.2). Lastly, there are the base module ''and'' page modules, ''both'' starting with <code>mediawiki.</code> (or <code>.mw</code>?), which creates more confusion. For instance, I do not need to declare <code>mw.config</code>, but I ''do'' need to declare <code>mw.util</code>! ''That'' is why we want a simple list of which of these <code>mediawiki.</code> modules are part of the base module and should not be declared. Then I can happily declare everything else. <span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:Edokter|<span style="color:#008"><i>E</i>dokter</span>]] ([[User talk:Edokter|<span style="color:#080">talk</span>]]) — </span> 21:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

We had the exact same functionality added on the Polish Wikipedia as a default gadget some years ago ([[:pl:MediaWiki:Gadget-map-toggler.js]]; limited by design to two maps only; see e.g. [[:pl:Kraków]]) and no one had ever complained after accidentally disabling it. We even have the styling of the main page implemented as a default-on gadget ([[:pl:MediaWiki:Gadget-main-page.css]]) and no one has problems with it either (I'd make it always-enabled if it was possible, though).

I suspect that someone has already worked this out, however, given how many people hate infoboxes. (I'm not among them, but the constant activism by some against infoboxes has led to multiple ArbCom cases, and will lead to more of them, because the anti-infobox warring has not abated. The only solution is to make it easy to move them "out of the way" to remove the inspiration for people's "cleanse" infoboxes from WP or from articles particular wikiprojects where these people have gathered are claiming scope.) <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''' ☺]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] ≽<sup>ʌ</sup>ⱷ҅<sub>ᴥ</sub>ⱷ<sup>ʌ</sup>≼ </span> 13:02, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
:I used to like infoboxes, but their proliferation has gotten a bit absurd ({{tl|Infobox fictional artifact}}, {{tl|Infobox ambulance company}}, {{tl|Infobox Magic: The Gathering player}}).

* XP + IE6: can't reach Wikipedia because of HTTPS issues.
* XP + IE7: isn't served Javascript anymore ([[Help:Internet Explorer]]).
* XP + IE8: might still benefit from this, but is an unsupported browser.
* XP + Chome: Chrome will drop XP support April 2016.
* XP + Firefox: doesn't need this hack.
* XP + Opera: see below
