Nothing is loaded by default.

If you make use of interfaces provided by a module, you must add a dependency on that module.

I must have misunderstood something. If all dependencies have to be declared then why does ResourcesTest::testIllegalDependencies() explicitly complain about 'jquery' and 'mediawiki'?

jquery and mediawiki are not modules. They are raw files leveraging parts of ResourceLoader to deliver itself

Ah, there's the confusion. Despite being in Resources.php in the same data structure and in the same format as all (other) modules, and being named by a method named "getStartupModules", and being delivered via the usual module loader script where they're specified as "modules=jquery%2Cmediawiki", and generally being referred to as "modules" in code comments and so on, you don't consider them modules because they're loaded specially by the bootstrapping "module"[1] and aren't passed to mw.loader.register().

[1]: I'm guessing 'startup', implemented by ResourceLoaderStartUpModule, is not a module either by your definition.
