yes, maybe, after a google search for wikibits addOnloadHook I found:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Skin
But this was an example. Let's assume I find in an extension the
function blahblah()
wherefrom I should know the .js file which contain this function?
Try a text search in all js files?
I think it would be nice if the description for this "main" JS
functions with a description should be somewhere on the website.
