Hello everyone, happy new year.
Following #26561 [1] and the MediaWiki security release 1.16.1 [2], some cross-wiki userscripts of mine do not work anymore.
Namely, these scripts are:
- iKiwi [3] which is used to retrieve all interwikis of a local
article from another wiki and is extensively used by the French interwikification project [4];
- xmsg [5] which is used to check new messages on other wikis when
login on (and I'm probably the only person to use).
Both of them use a trick with an iframe to allow javascript requests across the wikipedia.org subdomains (something that is not possible using AJAX).
Use JSONP. The MediaWiki API supports it through the "callback" parameter.
